I remember this day so vividly last year, awaiting the arrival of 2016 knowing how vastly different the forthcoming year would be compared to all others. We rung in the New Year with a ten-day-old baby, some take-out Chinese, and an 11:30 bedtime because trying to make it just thirty more minutes to watch the ball drop seemed impossible as new parents. Sleep was everything. So we wished each other a "Happy New Year" a couple of hours later when that first early morning feeding woke our two-hour sleep.
It's wild that 2016 came and went so quickly, and we find ourselves in a whole new predicament as we build excitement and momentum to welcome 2017. With a one-year-old our sleep has wildly progressed and staying awake until midnight will be easy. We'll countdown to the ball drop and share a sweet kiss as our official hello to this new year. If 2017 is anything like 2016, it will be full of growth and change. There will be milestones, more house DIYing, a little more graduate schooling, and so much hope for where the Lord is going to take us in the next 365 days.
As a nod to the fun-filled year we shared, I rounded up the top blogged moments from 2016 for review. This year was my best yet, and also my most challenging. Parenting will do that to you :) The Hills have high expectations for 2017, and we have a feeling it won't disappoint. Regardless of what happens or how it all plays out, we're beyond thankful to have one another. There is nothing in this world like family. And a special thank you to each of you for hanging with me here at Hill Collection. This year has been a whirlwind, the posts sporadic as I adjust to and find my stride in motherhood, and yet you my readers, have been faithful and loving. I couldn't ask for more! I hope you have a joyous New Year's Eve!
