We will be implementing a new tradition in 2010 called "year in a box". Basically, a the beginning of the year, we will be taking a shoe box and decorating it for that year. Then, throughout the year, we will be putting things in the box that represent different things we've done as a family, big events...anything really. For instance, we could put ticket stubs in the box, pictures, trinkets, anything that will serve as reminders as to what took place in 2010. Then, on new years eve, we will go through the box as a family. We had great plans of making an awesome box, but then we decided that we really wanted to Lula to participate in the decorating of the box. So, we just took out the crayons and traced our hands and drew silly little designs. It was a great family activity on January 1st! I'm excited to see what our boxes will look like in the future and all the things that they will hold inside.
