"In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a unit." - Marge Kennedy
I just love creating new family traditions that the kids will love and remember and hopefully pass on to their children. I have traditions as a child that I will never forget. The most memorable are those we have created on the holidays.
In addition to passing on my childhood traditions I like to create more with my family. One including our Friday Family Night. On Friday nights when we have both the girls and we are not doing anything but enjoying an evening at home we go grab a redbox movie, food (Chinese or pizza) and lay on the living room floor enjoying the evening together. It is the only time that the girls get to eat in the living room and watch TV so its a real treat for them and they just LOVE it.
I want to hear about your traditions that you enjoy. Leave a comment below of your favorite.
