Traditions

Last night Olivia did a Family Night on family traditions.  She read a little poem about traditions that she found in the "Friend" magazine and then we went around the room and wrote down our family traditions  (yearly, weekly and daily).
This blog tells about our family traditions but I thought I would write them down in one spot just so we could look at them and remember.  I am sure I will miss some and some will be created but these are some we talked about last night.
