It may be a new year, butChristina El MoussaandAnt Ansteadare still basking in all of their memories from 2018.
The couple, who tied the knot in asecret weddingon Dec. 22, took to Instagram to share their sweet and simpleNew Year’s Evetradition. Last New Year’s Eve, the newlyweds decided they would begin writing down all of their special moments from the year on pink paper and placing them in a glass jar, which they could only open on Dec. 31, 2018 to reflect on their year together.
“Happy new year!!!,” Anstead, who hosts Discovery’sWheelers and Dealers, captioned a photo of the full jar alongside two glasses ofchampagne. “This time last year @christinaelmoussa and I started filling this jar! We called it the ‘pink pot’! Every time we did something special we wrote it down and placed it in the jar! And I’m not talking cool stuff, I’m talking only the exceptional moments! the MEGA stuff!”
Anstead, 39, then went on to share his gratitude for his “unbelievable kids”— daughter Amelie, 15, and son Archie, 12—from a previous marriage. (El Moussa shares daughter Taylor, 8, and son Brayden, 3, with her ex-husband andFlip or Flopco-starTarek El Moussa.)

“I pinch myself every day for finding my WIFE #ChristinaAnstead. I am blessed! I am lucky!” Anstead wrote. “2018 you have been one hell of a wild ride! Tonight we open the bubbly and re read while we empty the jar. And I Cannot wait to start re filling it in 2019! Starting with our Honeymoon! 2019 we are ready for you! Bring it on!”
El Moussa, 35, who ischanging her last name to ‘Anstead’, shared her own post about the special jar on Instagram and highlighted some of her favorite memories from the past year.
“This time last year there were so many unknowns and so much was up in the air for me personally and professionally,” she wrote. “@ant_anstead and I started this jar on 12/31/17 and placed a note in it every time we did something really special. Reading them tonight it truly has been the most unbelievable year!! SO grateful.”
What items made the cut for El Moussa? Their wedding, their “blended family,” and moving into their new home together in Newport Beach, Calif., which recently doubled as their wedding venue.
“Thank you 2018!” she finished. “Happy New Year everyone!! Cheers to 2019.”
