Family Fun
With my family, any excuse for a celebration works. And other than open play in the woods, my favorite time with my family was Sunday- Family Fun Day. It was the day that my stepdad reserved for play. Living in the Finger Lakes gave us all sorts of recreational activities away from home, and they were often spent with our cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents. Our whole family used to vacation together in the 1,000 Islands region. We work hard so we can play hard. That was the personality and culture of our whole family.
We even added in our friends sometimes, as we got older. So there were family plus activities as well. I don't see that much anymore. Except in my family. I am 60+ and still want to celebrate with my cousins. It is so cool that I have that becuase my daughter moved to Wyoming to raise her family there.
We are starting a new generation and it's fun watching our grandchildren play together. Next weekend is Easter, and thats our families egghunt with the golden egg.
So I hope to encourage you to think about the traditions you want to pass on. And want to start this year, because there is no better time than the present year.

Family Adventures
I admit that my family is a bunch of adventure junkies. There is not much out there that we have not tried. We had 16 years of no babies and just in the last 2 years started having babies to cherish every moment with when we get together.
We are now regathering as the elders of the family. And are learning that sharing the things that we love with our childrens babies and toddlers makes it so much more fun. Thier first moments of adrenaline and joy are a new thrill for all of us. it's contagious and a huge source of joy for us. And though we rely alot on Facebook to keep us connected between the holidays, our adventures are full of laughter and lots of picture taking again.

Family Fun
So something that I have never shared online before is that I spent 16 years as a foster parent. And 10 years working at a group home. My foster children were treated just like they were my children. In fact I just talked to my first foster child last weekend. But holiday traditions were fun because we let them tell us what was their favorite tradition from their family from that holiday...that they wanted to do with us.
It was a blast every holiday to every child have their moment through out the day. It was very bonding and healing for them to still be able to connect to good memories from their lives. And they really loved it.
So even if your family isn't typical, make sure you give special moments to each person there. It seems simple but it really makes a difference to your families personality and warmth between each person there.
