New Years Resolutions

I love New Years. In fact I am tempted to say that I love New Years almost more than I love Christmas. Something about having the chance to start all over and accomplish those things that I always want to accomplish, yet slip away from me.

Gale always laughs at me as I start writing down my New Years Resolutions in November. This year though I have got it down. I broke my New Years Resolutions down into quarters. So that way I am not trying to accomplish them all the last few months of the year.

I would love to write them all down here, but many are to private. Family Secrets!

This year we started a new tradition. On New Years Eve we wrote down all the goals that we want to accomplish for 2009. I am putting them in a special container and sealing it up and then on New Years Eve next year we are going to open it up and see how we did!

Our family didn't get as much family time this New Years Eve as I had a church New Year's Eve youth dance to go help chaperone. We decided to make it a family affair, so we took all the kids and had a good time. I will admit I usually like to welcome in the New Year in a little bit of a more quiet and solemn, thoughtful way----but the girls all had a blast, so I did too. I must say that little Ava and Elle can sure dance up a storm....they even can pull a Beyonce'!
