2014: A Year in Photos

These "Year in Photos" posts have become some of my favorite that I do each year. I enjoy going through all our photos from the year and choosing the ones that make me smile the most. With that said, every year I tell myself that I'm going to limit it to two photos per month. Well. As you will see, that didn't happen this year. I'm pretty sure I haven't been successful with that goal yet, but this year is especially bad. Be prepared for photo overload :-).

Some months have a few more than others, but they are all my favorites! Praise God for all the blessings - big and small - of 2014!
