We try to take the same pose at the kitchen table. Really cool to see how Samantha (Daughter) changes over the years. The only other would be Thanksgiving dinner. That is my favorite time of year.

I can see why Jai picked your blog. <br /><br />As far as family traditions: On Christmas Eve I hide a Christmas pickle in the tree and the girls clammor to find it. Not a real pickle, mind you. A glass ornament pickle. This originated in Germany.<br /><br />Our girls, two off to college and one in highschool, still love doing this even now.Dorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05953973448175171825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987342243691407295.post-91812071493483651612009-09-08T01:36:03.217-04:002009-09-08T01:36:03.217-04:00My husband's family is rich with traditions......My husband's family is rich with traditions... my favorite is on Christmas Eve.

That is when they dye our Easter eggs. We make a "bunny" cake, also. They are completely in charge of decorating it. I always look so forward to this weekend and love to see the smiles on their faces after they have created their "masterpieces".Carrie Piercenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7987342243691407295.post-71629754634405143132009-09-08T00:09:39.621-04:002009-09-08T00:09:39.621-04:00Thank you guys so much!
