Hand Party!

It's that time of year again! I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do make Hands. Each year, my family and friends get together on New Year's Eve. We make Hands. We trace our hands on pretty paper, decorate with stickers, ribbons, fancy pens, etc and write out our goals for the year on each of the five fingers. On the palm we write "This Year I Will..." with our names and "2008" as well. We then put the Hands up on our fridge, to remind us to work on them all year long. Last year, I accomplished 4 of my 5 fingers. Jilly got all 5 of hers (show off). And Steve did well too. We're hoping this year we do even better.

In 2008, The Halls are going to.....
