Merry Christmas and happy New Years Eve everyone! I wanted to thank you for your support this year by leaving beautiful comments, sending sweet messages and shopping through my links. I’m so blessed to have you in my life and I want you to know how much I appreciate you visiting my blog. May the joy of the Christmas season fill your hearts today and always!
2018 was a great year for our family! I traveled to Italy for the first time, my husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary, my youngest son graduated from highschool, and many more blessings. I want to share some of my favorite posts from 2018 and a big thank you to my husband and my sons for taking most of my photos! I could not run this blog without them. All the destination photos in the Keys are almost two hours away from my home, so I appreciate my husband willing to shoot these looks for me.
Enjoy these photos and get ready for the best year yet on Beautifully Seaside!
I have lots of fun content in store for 2019!
