Miss Ellise is a few days shy of the biggest day of her life so far... she's about to celebrate her first half birthday. It has me thinking about what kinds of traditions we should start so when she's out on her own, she can think back fondly of the quirky things that only happened in our family. I can't figure out if these things happen on their own (over time, because it's not like Ellie will remember this one anyways), or if parents decide to plan special things. We've already decided on a few special things that we'll do on all of our birthdays (you'll have to wait til April to hear about those), but I really think celebrating a half-birthday, even with something as small as dum-dum lollipops held up by a wooden bear is super awesome.
So, if you're out there (and I know a few of you are), you can help our family get creative by clicking on the Post a Comment link and explaining some of your favorite childhood traditions. For parents--how did your family traditions start? Did they just sort of happen or did you make a decision to do something silly/special/awesome? In a few days I'll let you know how we marked this spectacular day in baby girl's life.
this is how ellie and i entertained ourselves while waiting for grandpa and daddy to finish their triathlon.

Well NOW I'm up to date on the participation aspect. I don't remember "Who's got the power?"
So now that I know what you're talking about, well think about what were going to do!!
aaaand...YOU WIN! How hard was that?
One thing I want for our family: Saturday or Sunday or both morning cuddlebug snuggle time in the bed.
