Denver Deal: Stock Show, Globetrotters, Family Nights & More

Happy New Year to You! Most of the people I know are plotting their New Year’s Resolutions. But, at this time of year my favorite thing to do is to create my yearbook. Each year (for the past four), I have put together a yearbook for each of my kids chronicling the fun things we got to do over the last year (it also serves as inspiration of what to do in the upcoming year). I have used MyPublisher, Shutterfly, Walmart Photo and Mixbook. I love using Mixbook the most. They have easy pre-made layouts that I can literally just drop in the photos. And Voila I look like a digital scrapbook star! Do you do something to commemorate your past year?
