Finding Time for Family Traditions

It's a fact that it gets trickier for families to come together as kids get older. Family time has to compete with after-school activities, sports, friends, even the TV and computer. If you've already got some traditions in place by the time your kids hit the everything-in-the-world-is-more-important-than-family phase, then you're way ahead of the game. However, if you haven't, it doesn't mean you're out of the running, either.

Some of our favorite family traditions include Saturday night movies and big Sunday morning breakfasts. My older daughter and I have a standing cribbage match on Thursday nights, and my personal favorite is family gardening day on Mother's Day.

We know Island families are as creative as they come, so we're pretty sure you all have come up with some phenomenal ways to spend quality time with your loved ones. So, let us know, what are some of your favorite family traditions? Any that you have passed down from your parents to your kids? How about a new one you came up with last week?
