HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I'm sitting here this morning with Moose while Jesse snoozes away. We rang in a New Year last night and had so much fun! 

We wanted to start some traditions so I scoured the internet and found a few. We went out and got sausage (pork) for dinner, a symbol of good luck in the south. We also picked up some donuts! Eating round food represents your year coming fill circle. We also read that in Scotland, people exchange silverware. So we've decided to pick a new piece of silverware every year and add it to our collection. We bought a cute little chest to keep them in! Besides for those, we also went bowling again this year :) That's something that we started doing last year. We also made a stop by Kayleigh's NYE party, she's a New Years Eve baby so we celebrated her birthday.

My favorite thing we decided to do was a memory jar (thanks again Pinterest!). We started it January 1, 2013. We filled it with all kinds of memories and read them last night before the ball dropped. We wrote some things on a note card. We kept little momentos from other things, it was nice to go through all of them and see what a great year we had.
