My grandparents from Alaska are here visitng this week and my kids got to meet them for the first time... it had me thinking of family traditons, how when I was growing up we ( My parents and sister, my grandparents, my aunt and uncle and cousins) would all get together on holidays.
How we would have a new years eve party playing head and foot and eating nacho's...always calling my mom "pete the cheat" ( we caught her cheating at the card game once:) I rember fondly all the things we used to do every year that you could always count on.

Now we are all grown up and spread around the country....my only single cousin got married this weekend wchich left my sis as the only single one from our generation. I have not seen many of them in a long time but hope that through the passing down of family traditions to my children we can all remain somehow connected...

What are the tradtions you want to make sure they expereince and carry on? Do you have some tradtions that are unique to your family?
Tradtions are a part of who we are and can really shape our lives...
