A Year in Photos "2012"

January 1, 2013

In all of the years I have had this blog up and running, I have never gone back and done a "year in photos" recap.....and so this morning, I decided to look back through and I was astounded how much the girls especially have changed in the last year. So much so, I decided to go ahead and quickly put together a post.

It was hard for me to choose just one photo for each month but I did, so here goes.....

In May we had a grocery store trip that caused a lot of mayhem:)

One of my very favorite photos of the two girls together taken in the field across the street from our house last June. This was put on canvas and now hangs in our home.

In July Reags was into playing dress up daily in my room and wore one of my shirts inside out while "reading" her book of choice...."the lost daughters of china"

Our annual trip to Cape Cod in August that had one of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen. Another photo that is hung in canvas in our home:)

September was the start of the school year and Sarah's Kindergarten year. This was a funny outtake from our "back to school" shoot.

In October we survived "Sandy" and the girls were enjoying the simple things while we waited for the power to be restored.

November was the first time I took the girls to the studio space for a dress up photoshoot. Two of the prettiest princesses I have ever seen....okay, I am a tad biased!

And finishing up the year was a photo of all three of the kids that I adore because it shows the love they have for each other..... even down to the placement of Reags little hands in Sarah's.

2012 was a wonderful year.... we are hopeful that 2013 will have a lot of good things in store for our family and friends!

Happy New Year Everyone!
May it be a year of health, happiness, and prosperity!

I love seeing your year in photos!! All your 3 have grown up so much - boohoo. Looking through our past 12 months II noticed my Tia looks entirely different from last year at this times. :(

I'm looking forward to what 2013 year brings!!

Such beautiful photos from 2012!! For me, Reagan just seems to have grown leaps and bounds in the past year. She no longer looks like the little toddler I met two summers ago, but she hasn't lost once ounce of her cuteness!! Sarah and Reagan always seem to be having so much fun together and enjoy every moment handsome big brother is around.

I hope 2013 brings you much joy!!!

xoxo,
Michelle

Oh Lisa, I couldn't pick a favourite from these, they are one nicer than the next! (ok, if you forced me, the one during Sandy would be it, cos I love sister bonds, but December would be a close 2nd).
Happy New Year to you all!
I hope all your dreams and wishes for the year come true! Love, mimiindublin

Sharon said...
