Family Traditions...Part One

We have set up several family traditions over our marriage.  One that I ready love is one that I brought into our family from my parents.  We hold an annual ICE CREAM PIG-OUT!!!  This is always in the summer and we invite several friends to come 'Pig-Out' with us.  Everyone brings their favorite ice cream and we have all the toppings and sauces.  The goal is the be the person who eats the most ice cream in the set time period.  I have prizes for the top three 'PIGS'.  I am looking forward to this this coming summer!!





Another tradition we have is to go visit our dear friends in Defiance, Ohio for the Halloween Parade.  The first year we dressed up as Ketchup, Mustard and Relish.  We like to go for the candy, friends and the small town charm.



We host a Valentine Couples Dinner each February at our home.  We eat, play games and talk.  We have had some great times getting to know our friends better and enjoy good food.  We feel lucky to be together as a couple and value our dear friends example of being a great husband or wife.  Really every day can be Valentine's Day if you let it be!!  XOXO.


One of our more silly traditions is to jump on hotel beds.  This started when we took a trip together while we were engaged.  We have to check the ceiling heights before jumping, as not all hotels have tall ceilings!!  It is more fun if there are two beds in the room, so one can jump from bed to bed!!
