I like New Years Eve-the start to new goals, projects, lists, cleaning, sorting, games, appetizers-it is really my kind of holiday. However I don't think I have made it to midnight since 2000! I love journaling and thinking through my goals for the new year. I wanted something to do with my family-some way of remembering looking back and starting the year with Thanksgiving. This past year was not easy in many aspects however we have so many blessings and things to remember that were happy and good. I also want to start a list each year of things we want to accomplish and do as a family-not just as individuals. I feel that so often my goals might get thwarted because they are just that only for me, but family goals seem to have more long lasting impact. For example eating healthy-doesn't really work unless we all eat healthy.
I used an composition notebook to make a family journal that we will use to record our new year rememberings and goals entitled" The Best of . . ." Some of our Best of include Potty Training, big boy beds, sleeping in their own beds all night, overnight get-away for mommy and daddy and many more. What are things you do as a family to ring in the New Year??
