And finally I'm sharing the final part of my year's recap. This part might be my favorite because it involves my trip to Europe, Steemfest, and the holiday season. I could have made it so much longer but I tried to condense it into a reasonable amount of pictures.

First off in September I had a great time taking in the end of the Summer season. My sister @fullofhope and I did a lot of biking, and exploring some local trails.

As soon as the weather started turning cold was when I started planning my trip to Europe and getting excited for Autumn. Oh, and you may also remember my post about our "Steem-mobile" as we call it. Here's the post By this time most of my family had joined Steemit.

Then Late October rolled around and @noboxes and I headed to London for my first time.

I feel like I could share pictures from that trip forever but for now I'll keep it to these.

Right after a short time there we jumped a plane and headed straight to Lisbon for Steemfest2 as most of you will remember from all the posts I shared on it.

I made so many amazing friends there that I hope to know long after and I can't wait for next year's Steemfest.

Yes, I won't be forgetting that trip anytime soon.

Then I returned home to our first snowfall and also while I was away I became auntie to my first niece! Then of course the Holidays came and I have to say it may have been our best Thanksgiving and Christmas ever.

I can't wait to see what 2018 brings but if it's even close to as good as this past year I'm excited for it! Happy New Year again, Steemians and let's make it an awesome year!

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST.

And, by the way, to all the minnows out there, my intro post did a huge $0.21. The key to success on Steemit is to be consistent and persistent.
