The Adventures of Cat & Jack: Looking Back at 2018

NOTICE: I realized after finishing this video that I mislabeled the pizza celebration as "Luke Kindergarten Graduation" when it should have been "Luke Preschool Graduation." Oops.

This video is such a project each year but I'm always glad when I do it! I wanted to share it as soon as I finished it since I've been working on it so much that I haven't published any other posts in a few days. But I'll have to come back and update this one with everyone's favorite things from 2018, as has become tradition.

UPDATE on 4/12/19:
A few weeks ago I finally asked everyone what their favorite things were from 2018. Here are the answers I got, though it was kind of a distracted conversation, and over 2 months since 2018 had ended, so I don't think it's the most accurate list. But it's better than nothing:
