Hello the people who make our dreams and lives possible! Two years ago I did this peek behind the curtain thing for the first time and you liked it a lot! So last year I did it again — swung open the door into the dark annals of numbers, charts, graphs and figures about how this little light of ours fared in 2016. You liked that too. Now that most of us have made it through 2017 with teardrops in our palms and possibly-delusional hope in our pockets, we are standing in front of 2018's gaping maw with a few things to discuss regarding that experience.
We’d like to politely request that you do not share any of these graphics outside of A+ and instead enjoy them only here on this page right now with us as a family! Okay?
