New Year's Eve Reflection Game

I love taking time to reflect at the end of the year with my family. We cozy up in front of the fire and talk about our favorite memories for the year and also what we learned from the harder times.The hard part is sometimes you end up blanking in the moment and lose the opportunity to share it with the rest of the family. This year we decided to change it up a bit. We made a little New Year's Eve Reflection Jar.

New Year's Eve For Our Family

On New Year's Eve our family is going to sit down and answer a few questions. We will write the questions on a piece of paper and throw it in the jar. At the end of the night we're going to sit down and take turns answering different questions.It's easy to want to wish away a hard year, but the important thing is to learn from it. 2016 is full of 365 days worth of memories. There's no way they were all bad. In fact those memories have all come together to make us who we are right now.Take some time to put together your own New Year's Eve jar! Let your kids decorate it or get fancy yourself.
