2015 in Review

Happy New Year! We're already a few days into the new year, and yet there's a few things I'm still meaning to recap from 2015 (Hanukkah, Christmas, and someone's first birthday specifically). I do still plan on getting to those eventually, but first here's a look back at the whole year that just ended, 2015.
We started off the year with a baby who was only 3 weeks old.
While I was still on maternity leave my bff, who is Elley's godmother, paid us a visit, on which Elley had her first Starbucks trip.
Before my maternity leave ended and I headed back to work, we spent the long Mardi Gras weekend in Atlanta visiting friends and family.
Spring came, and we spent most weekends out watching the boy play baseball.
Keeping with the baseball theme, we took Elley to her fist LSU baseball game at Alex Box Stadium,
and then went back and celebrated Mother's Day there as well.
While it never actually made it into a blog post, we saw Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood in concert, which also wound up being the first, and still only, night we spent away from Elley.
We spent about a week visiting California where Elley first went swimming,
saw the ocean,
and met Anna and Elsa at Disney's California Adventures.
We celebrated my birthday by taking Elley to see her first Tiger football game where they beat South Carolina.
Also in October, we visited a pumpkin patch
and celebrated Halloween.
While it never made the blog, at least till now, we took our first family photo session with Melissa V Photography.
We invited friends over to celebrate Thanksgiving with us.
And again, while it didn't make the blog, at least not yet, we celebrated Hanukkah,
Elley's first birthday,
and Christmas.

What were some of your highlights from 2015?

And if you want to see how this year compares to years past for me, here are my recaps from 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014.
