2016 Goals: out with the old, in with the new

For Family Home Evening night this week we reviewed last year's goals and made new ones for 2016.  We all agreed that our performance in 2015 as a whole was the worst yet, but that certainly didn't stop us from making new ones, haha!  We aren't beating ourselves up too much and are excited for what 2016 has in store.  We also plan to do a better job checking in at least monthly during a family night to report on progress we're making.
