Since I was young, my family has gone sledding on New Year’s Day. As we still have quite a bit of snow on the ground here in Utah, it should be a great day today for sledding. Happy New Year 2009!

What are you doing to bring in the new year?

we don’t have any new year’s traditions at all, but this year we did go sledding yesterday and it was a blast! might have to carry that one over from year to year!
There is nothing more tender than a father kissing his child. It makes me smile every time
We eat lots of snack food/appetizers all day. For my husband’s family that goes along with football watching but since my husband isn’t a huge fan it will go along with kid movie watching (gotta keep it appropriate for our almost 3 year old) and video game playing. We don’t live close enough to the snow or we might start a sledding tradition too. Sounds like a blast!
That’s so cute!! Wait — “still” have snow in Utah? You are such an optimist! When I lived there, in March we were still going sledding, hahaha!!
That is such a cute sled by the way!!
Awww That pic is priceless!
We spent time with friends last night (Nothing fancy but we did have a nice time)
We go bowling!
What a precious picture! I love your blog. What a fabulous resource. Makes me wish I were more crafty, lol. Looking forward to meeting you at Blissdom! :-)
Fun traditions. I love the bowling idea. We may have to adopt that.
What a wonderful picture! And what a special tradition. We went sledding on New Years Eve minus the baby (home with grandparents) and had such a wonderful time. I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun my 2 year old had despite the frigid temperatures! Will upload some photos of our sledding experience to my blog shortly…
