The year is almost coming to a close and it’s about to be 2018! These past few months were filled with so many fun firsts for Elle. Today I’m sharing all about what we have been up to this past month. There was lots of festive events and celebrating with family and friends. For more photos + fun, make sure to follow along on Instagram.
So let’s get to it…
We kicked off the month celebrating Elle’s first birthday! After lots of planning, the party was perfect! You can see more photos and read all about the details in this post.
