Family tradition

[DianaB]

What sweet memories you and your daughter will have of being together. Good for you!!! I love to do things with my kids and grandkids that will make memories!

I can remember when I was really little making biscuits with my Grandma. We mixed them all up and put them in the oven and then I ran next door to tell my aunt what we were doing. When I came back my Grandma was mixing up another batch because we had left the baking powder out and she didn't want me to be disappointed that they didnt' turn out. It ended up that I was disappointed that she hadn't let me help her again. She was such a sweet Grandmother and she only had 4 grandchildren. We all knew that we were so special to her. I miss her.

What a sweet story!!! My mom did that with my daughter and my 12 year old granddaughter - helped them make biscuits and cookies. I doubt my mom will be able to do that with the two year old when she gets old enough - so I guess it will be ME!

How wonderful! I love family traditions and rituals. You have a great deal to hand down Gayle, especially your wisdom.

Gayle how nice, I love family traditions and receipes. I to have carried my mothers holiday traditions. My daughter hopefully one day will want to pick them up , at the moment she is busy with school and could not care less . lol

I bet she'll want to carry them on too. My daughter, like yours, could not have cared less either a few years ago. But now that she has daughters of her own, she has come to appreciate things in a different way.

Some of my happiest memories are of my mom and I cooking and baking together. I love when my kids ask me to teach them to make something, and we always have fun doing it! It's nice to see our family traditions passed down.
