If this year taught us anything its that family is the most important part of our life. Spending quality time together single hanidly helped us manage the world together. Fun family traditions help create memories to last a lifetime! As we added more fun things into our lives, I started taking notes. I noticed I had nearly a year of family fun ideas! Once I saw that I knew I needed to share.
