The Memory Jar -2012

Last year Ken and I decided to start a Memory Jar.  We would write down all of the big, important, exciting things that happened throughout the year, put them in the jar and read them on New Years Day.  It was fun documenting our life and then being able to remember and reflect on the past year.

I wanted to share some of our big moments of 2012 so that I will have them forever....
