Several years ago when I started doing these Year in Photos posts, my goal was to choose one favorite photo from each month of the year. Haha . . . well, I could never keep it narrowed down to just one, and I ended up choosing 4 or 5 photos for most months. This year, I didn't even try. I just chose as many photos as I wanted to from each month and decided that was okay! Some months - like February - are BIG months for us, and I just didn't want to choose only one photo.
With that said, be prepared for photo overload (if you're a regular reader, you know this is nothing new :-). Here is an overview of a GREAT year for us. We praise God for another year of abundant life with all its ups and downs. These are my favorite photos from 2015!
