a year in review

At the start of every new year, my family pulls out our past years new years resolutions and writes down our new ones. As we read through all of the past years, the boys get quite a kick out of how much they have grown and matured. We usually end up laughing till our sides hurt over the fact that someone wanted to "learn their ABC's" or "stop using sippie cups".  But the fact of the matter is, this tradition has become one the boys anticipate for weeks to come.  It is such a fun night of reminiscing and looking forward to what we hope the future will hold.  And now that my boys are getting older, it seems to be that our resolutions are really starting to develop into some great goals and expectations. If it is not a tradition of yours, to make resolutions with your family, I urge you to start this year... I promise you wont regret it!!! So as I promised, here is the layout that we use to review the past year and look forward to the one ahead.
