I honestly can't think of anything about my family that could define us in the way you are describing. The only real tradition I can think of that was in the least bit enjoyable was having the leprechauns come visit (like Santa or the Easter Bunny might) on St. Patrick's Day. I did join the band in middle school and had an identity with them.<br /><br />Now that I'm married, I would say our identity is that of gamers, academics, or nerds. We will have to see if our kids share these same passions once we have some.<br /><br />[Stopping by from SITS]Frozen OJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14131711839046100355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-35052467603344335452011-02-15T19:08:06.555-08:002011-02-15T19:08:06.555-08:00I want to be a family that loves God and serves ot...I want to be a family that loves God and serves others.

(Or so it seemed.)<br />Luckily my own hottie husband is a force unto himself. So we are the family that drinks a lot of espresso and skis every possible chance. We're the ones without a TV, who all cook together.<br /><br />SarahSarah Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306158055163994965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4386190112641735734.post-56645895129739578112011-02-15T16:19:04.755-08:002011-02-15T16:19:04.755-08:00Such a neat way to think about it...
