It’s funny how traditions start. You do something a few times and voila, you have yourself a tradition. It all kind of sneaks up on you accidentally like that. Although, if you think about it, maybe it’s not really funny at all. Maybe all of life kind of sneaks up on you accidentally like that.
Regardless of how this particular tradition formed, and whether it’s funny or totally expected, I now seem to have a year-end tradition of my own. I create a slide show of our family’s year in pictures. I did it in 2008 and 2009, and now here I am at it again for 2010, so I think it’s really official now.
I’m not going to say anything more. If a picture is worth a 1000 words, then what you are about to see is a novel. Any more words on my part are redundant.
Happy New Year!
OK, I have a few more words. I want to tell you that early bird registration, which saves you $30 off the course fee, ends New Year’s Day at Crafting my Life. Visit the Sign Up! page to, you know, sign up. The other thing I want to tell you is that my monthly review for December, complete with link-up, runs on Monday, January 3.

Great photos, GREAT song choice! I’ve JUST figured out how to create slideshows myself, and after seeing yours, I NEED to make my own 2010 slideshow. Thanks for the inspiration!

Lovely photos of your family, Amber. And, if I may say it, from my grandmotherly place, Go, Grandpa! Glad to see you include him. I so appreciate how our children have embraced and encouraged our roles in our grandchildren’s lives. Anyway, all the best in 2011.
Very sweet. *sniffs* It’s all happening too fast!
