2005 has come and gone and it has taken with it all our most treasured moments and memories. But you can capture and save those memories with a new family tradition. The “Annual _________ (fill in the blank with your last name) Family Slideshow” Party tradition.

So many memories: John and Mary were married this year – what a beautiful bride she was! Tom and Sandy had their first child, a girl, little Victoria, weighing only 5 pounds and 2 ounces – her smile brings joy to all our hearts! Little Bobby graduated from kindergarten. Samantha lost her first tooth! Michael proposed to Julie on Valentine’s Day – you should see that beautiful ring! Emily had her Holy Communion this year – she looked like an angel all dressed in white.

Our family vacation to Disney World was so much fun! Little Tommy’s hamster died. Gina went off to college this year – we sure do miss her, but love all the pictures she sends home via her camera phone! Mark is in the army now and serving in Iraq – we wish he was here to share in all these memories. Grandma and Grandpa celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary! Tonya went overseas on a special ministry trip – her pictures of the trip will break your heart. Carol played the lead in her school play… the list goes on. It’s memories like these that pull and keep a family together. Your own family memories are unique and special to you and your family, why let those memories fade when a family video slideshow will keep those memories fresh for a lifetime and future generations? Memories are priceless.

When planning your budget for all

So how do I get started, you ask? Good question. How about appointing a couple of people to take the lead, and have the others send them their favorite photos and video clips of the year. Then send them to a professional slideshow creating company such as Sands of Time Multimedia Creations to create an annual family video album slideshow. When finished, gather up the family and prepare a special evening together as you share your memories of the past year and watch the video album slideshow production. But make sure you have plenty of tissues available as memories set to motion and music tends to bring out the emotional side of all of us.

The “Annual Family Slideshow Party” tradition is sure to be a tradition that you and your family will look forward to for years to come. And as the years pass you’ll appreciate your video album slideshows even more as you watch the ones you love the most grow and change through the seasons of their lives. Don’t wait, get started today before time passes and memories fade.
