New Years Chain 2012

Each year we make a New Years Chain with all the things we would like to do the following year. The sky is the limit and basically you can put anything on the list. We usually have somewhere around 150 goals. It is fun to put the chain together and then put it away until the next year. It is kind of like a yearly wish list/time capsule.This year we completed over 50 of our goals!!

Here are some of the wishes/dreams/goals we completed for 2012!!

Summer and Winter lock in's, Kenna a FB account, Rollerskating, Dentist for all, Ice skating, visiting cousins in Houston, Finishing the 365 blog, a 3DS, Going to see the Hunger Games, getting jobs, going to Six Flags, a trip to Ohio, canvas painting classes, returning to public school, Boys weekend, guitar lessons, getting a piano, visiting a skateboard park, camping, dates with grandma, seeing the Avengers and more. Sometimes we do something on the chain that is a shocker.. This year an item on the chain was "get a playmate for Lucky." We had absolutely no intentions of ever getting another dog and yet we now have our puppy Holly. 

There are of course those items that end up on the list yearly.. Get more organized, a new master bedroom, a trip to France, a cruise, win the lottery, a new back yard etc. I love putting them on the list because they are our dreams and our hopes for the future.. Maybe one year we will scratch them off the bucket list.

I tell the kids " It is a New Year and anything can happen".. Here is to 2013!! May all of your hopes, dreams, and wishes come true!!
