Additions to Traditions

I think the traditions list will be ongoing as we keep thinking of things. A few more I thought of, or was reminded of: 1)Good sport dinners. Mom makes a new recipe once a week for dinner. Everyone votes thumbs up or thumbs down on it. No one was ever brave enough to actually vote thumbs down. If they didn't like it got a sideways thumb. 2) The Grandma Peterson wave as people leave. This developed over time to include the Don Hinton family salute, the hand over the heart, and the ever-favorite blowing of kisses. All of them make for a great send off. Oh, and before you leave, Mom puts the chair in front of the door and locks the doors. 3) American Idol- Watch it, discuss it. Everyone needs to join in next year! It's a great tradition!
