With Easter just over a week away I've been thinking about some of the fun things that we do as a family each year. We really enjoy the seasons and the holidays around here!

Each Spring we look forward to flying kites. So far this year we've only had a chance to try it once and it wasn't the windiest day, but we had fun anyway.

We'll also be dying eggs and making sugar cookies with the Easter/Spring cutters from our cookie cutter collection. We have cookie cutters for most every occasion!

Another favorite tradition that we've only been doing for the past two years is spending time at the beach. We LOVE going with the kiddos because they enjoy it so much! I hope it's a family tradition that we can continue even when we move further away from the beach.

In the fall we always head to a pumpkin patch. Picking out pumpkins and carving them is a very fun family tradition for us.

These are just a few of our family traditions. As you can see, some of our family traditions are *bigger* and some are just simple fun, but they are all special to our family.
What are some of the things your family does that are real traditions for you? I'd love to hear about them!
Heidi at Mt. Hope Chronicles is talking about yearly family traditions today, so head over and check out what she is sharing!

My boys are always begging to go kite flying, but when we get around to it, the wind is never right. Which is weird, because there is usually lots of wind around here... We really need to try to do that this year!!
Thanks for participating. I always enjoy your thoughts and photos!
We loved the pumpkin patch in New Jersey and Illinois, but we never went the two years we were in Illinois or this year when we got here, although the cider mill has taken its place possibly.
I think we will be building lots of new traditions in the coming years in our new home state.
OK, this may be a dumb question....but what is an egg spinner? I may need one of those!!
