Every year I put together a Year End Book for my kids and their parents as a kindergarten keepsake.
Each year I've put a little more time and thought into them and I have to say that this year's is the best.
Click here to check out how I store these pages all year and get a look at last year's.
Most of these pages, you've probably seen before because I blogged about them as we worked on them. But this is what it looks like when they are all put together!
