New Years Interview 2012

Happy New Year. Interviewing my children at the beginning of each year has become a tradition for us. This is the third year for me to do this. It is really fun to see what things have changed and what has stayed the same. The boys really enjoy doing this and I love that I have a record of their thoughts and favorite things from each year. You can read the last two years here and here. The first one I ever did was when they were 2 and 3 and it's hilarious to go back and read now.
