YEARLY RECAP: 2024 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

2024 was such a wonderful year for us—a year filled with sweetness and unforgettable memories. The most beautiful gift of all, our girl Alba, arrived and made us a family of five!

Every year, I like to reflect on the year that was by sharing a little roundup on my blog, along with our family photos taken at this special time of year. These photos bring me so much joy and serve as a beautiful reminder of all that we’ve experienced. I’m incredibly proud of my little family.

J&J in Wellington

What better way to celebrate a birthday than a weekend getaway! Each year we take Arlo & Belle away for their birthdays. Last year we did Taupo which you can read about here. We love to spend time as a family and much prefer experiences than presents. This year we decided to take them just over the hill to the coolest little capital in the world, Wellington. I love capturing our holidays together as a family and finding family friendly accommodation, activities and eateries to share with you all.

Meet Alba

These photos bring me so much joy. We did family photos with Light by Nika last year and absolutely loved them so much, that we knew we wanted to do it again this year, especially since we recently became a family of 5! She manages to capture our kids' personalities so perfectly.

We would like to officially introduce you to our newest member, Alba Atarita Ngahuia Carlson, weighing 7.6 pounds and born at 3.14am on the 19th of April.
