Do you make New Year's Resolutions? I don't really....I feel I'm setting myself up for a disappointing year if I try to make a bunch of decisions to change in one day for the rest of the year! whewww! Well, I do make a bucket list....but its all fun stuff to learn, explore, ect....does that count? Here's a couple of mine for 2013: Go to Scotland, (among other places I list), make sushi, climb the zugspitze, complete my photo books, hot air ballooning, open an esty shop....:)
This morning over breakfast, we had our first New Year's discussion...we each got a mason jar. There are so many negative distractions in life, aka people, sickness, bills ect. so 2013 let's focus on on the positives, the blessings that come our way EVERY day that we take for granted and sometimes easily forgot. So today we decided to fill our jar till the end of the year with little notes of blessings that come our way. We will only read these when we are feeling down and need a reminder of all the wonderful things we've done or have received. Then on New Year's Eve will will open our jars and share all the good 2013 brought us.
We also put a suggestion box out...it's important that everyone in the family have a say or an opinion. It's easy to get overlooked or feel left behind when you have a big family...this way everyone can make a suggestion aka "can we start going bowling on Tuesday" , "Can Tuna(cat) sleep in my room on Friday night?" :)
Do you have any New Year's traditions or fun ideas?

I love the Blessing Jar idea. Do you each have your own personal jar?
Yes we do! :)
Fondue every New Years Day!!
The jar is a nice idea! You could add verses from Bible that meant something specific to you/ them
