A Tradition of Silliness

This is for a circle journal about traditions and I really struggled with it. I'm really happy with how it turned out but it sure gave me a hard time! The journaling flaps are outside the page protectors (stapled to them) so there was no way to get a pic without a glare-- so sorry! :(

Journaling here reads:
I come from a very silly family. Our home was full of jokes and laughter, silly nicknames and crazy made-up games. My parents raised me to view the world through eyes that knew how to laugh, and to recognize the silliness in even the toughest situations. And now, as an adult, my husband brings out the silly in me. When we met, even before we were falling in love, we were part of a group of friends that mostly hung out acting crazy. Art's not a big mouth like I am, but he has a hysterical sense of humor and after seven years together he still makes me laugh. I guess it's inevitable that we would pass the silliness on to the boys. Ryan, at three years, is developing a very crazy sense of humor. And Sam, at sixteen months, has already discovered how great it is to make Mommy and Daddy laugh.
Our family has a lot of traditions-- Christmas traditions, New Year's traditions, Easter traditions, birthday traditions, and a few traditions that are just none of your business (those mostly just involve Mom and Dad). But the tradition that makes our family unique, that gives us special times every day (not just on special days), is our tradition of silliness. Of laughter. It's really a hodge-podge of things we do-- things that lift our spirits, cheer our hearts, and fill our home with sounds of happiness. This is our tradition of silliness.
