I had a fun idea this year to capture everyone's Top 10 events for the past year. I gathered the family and we turned off the television. I gave everyone a piece of paper and told them to write their 2008 Top 10 then rank them. Here are the results....

This was a ton of fun - We found it interesting that I combined a few of mine and Trevor chose to separate some (VA & Palmyra) There were no rules so it was all ok - Of course after you have time to think about everything, other things start coming to mind. Maybe I should have also included my newly found love of reading thanks to Stephanie Meyer. Oh well - we'll leave it all as-is and look forward to the Top 10 of 2009!
