We have tons of Christmas traditions. My favorite is our advent calendar that I made when they were little. It's huge and has pieces to be put in the manger scene every day. I make the same breakfast every year and we only have it then (and now on ds's birthday because it's his favorite. So twice a year)

We do birthday breakfast. Every year on ds's birthday we go to the Chinese restaurant where he was almost born.

I used to get their pics taken in Chinese clothes every year but the older the boys got the less enthusiastic they were about it.

When they turn 18 I have them make a footprint and I put their baby footprint next to it.



I have statues of their hands from when they were babies.

Most traditions happen organically I think.

The footprint idea is awesome!!

Since I didn't grow up with a lot of traditions or routines in my family I want to be really intentional about it for our kid (s) Y'all have some lovely ideas!
