Yes! I am such a huge believer in family traditions. As my kids grow older, I realize just how much those traditions mean to them. Family traditions don't have to be elaborate or expensive, sometimes the most simple things stick out in their minds the most!This is a great list of ideas.
Making apple cider at the local cider mill, watching Disney's Squanto the night before Thanksgiving, (not the most historically accurate, but fun nonetheless:-)drinking hot apple cider during real aloud time and decorating for fall are just a few of our favorite family traditions.
Thanks for sharing your ideas, Tara!
Have a blessed week!
