My mom did that to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-borrowed-any-little-family-rituals-for-your-own-family#post-449385 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 18:28:49 +0000 Sweet T 449385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family used to sing the chorus of "A Bushel &amp; a Peck" by Doris Day to me when I was little. I sing the song to DS now and he giggles when he hears it. It's so sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-borrowed-any-little-family-rituals-for-your-own-family#post-449370 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:57:57 +0000 MissKitten 449370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My grandparents always said this little goodnight to my father and my parents said it to me right up until I moved out! I say it to my LO every night. "Good night, God Bless, Sweet Dreams, I'll see you in the morning, I love you." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-borrowed-any-little-family-rituals-for-your-own-family#post-449317 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 16:33:07 +0000 shopaholic 449317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LoL! We don't have any sweet traditions that I can think of, my parents were never really affectionate. Does Thanksgiving or Xmas in Las Vegas count? Because we'll probably have to keep up with their tradition of that at least every other year!<br /> one thing I remember very fondly were stops at McDonald's after grocery shopping w/my mom. Sometimes we could stop and get a hot fudge sundae. I'll probably do that sometimes too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-borrowed-any-little-family-rituals-for-your-own-family#post-449243 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 15:40:03 +0000 mrs. wagon 449243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family did a big pancake breakfast every Saturday morning, so I'm hoping to continue that. Since my mom has been with us she does it for us!! </p> <p>I've been trying to figure out traditions I want to implement for my own family, and there are a couple that we've started... one is coming up for Christmas: open one present on Christmas Eve, then on Christmas morning open presents all together with hot chocolate, juice, and homemade sticky buns. I tried to incorporate bacon last year and I discovered that I hate cooking bacon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-borrowed-any-little-family-rituals-for-your-own-family#post-449184 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 15:01:56 +0000 heffalump 449184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are all about continuing family rituals/traditions. DH loves to do this thing to LO called x marks the spot, both of his grandparents did it to his parents (which is weird because I don't feel like it's a common thing and they both grew up doing it) and his parents did it to him, and now he does it to LO. It goes,</p> <p>LO loves it though, you draw on her back with your finger while saying a little rhyme, she cracks up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-borrowed-any-little-family-rituals-for-your-own-family#post-449149 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:45:58 +0000 prettylizy 449149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so sweet. My dad used to play The Beatles Birthday Song every year for us on our birthday first thing in the morning and I think we're going to keep that going for our little ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-borrowed-any-little-family-rituals-for-your-own-family#post-449134 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:36:35 +0000 travelgirl1 449134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is really cute. Maybe I'll borrow that one :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-borrowed-any-little-family-rituals-for-your-own-family#post-448847 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:27:55 +0000 MrsBrewer 448847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww that is sooo sweet! I guess I don't know if I have any rituals like that....I will have to pay attention. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-borrowed-any-little-family-rituals-for-your-own-family#post-448845 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:26:21 +0000 mrbee 448845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad would always give me some luck before my piano competitions by rubbing my back and wishing me good luck. </p> <p>Now whenever Charlie does something that requires luck, I rub his back just like my dad did. He doesn't even notice right now, but maybe someday he'll rub his son's back in the same way. :)</p> <p>Have you borrowed any little family rituals for your own family? </p>
