Does you family do anything every year? Maybe fix something non traditional?
Zach started making the pumpkin pie several years ago, so he will continue to do so. Also, macaroni and cheese seems to make it to our table now, even though it never did when we were younger- must be the south rubbing off on us! And I continue to make sweet potatoe casserole with marshmallows, even though me and Little E are the only ones who will eat it!
My wife's family always makes white nut bread with cranberries. We will be making it and taking it with us. We will be taking the recipe so her brother's new wife will have it.
My mother-in-law-in-law (my husband's sister's husband's mom) always makes these delicious noodles. I usually get just a taste of everything else and a big scoop of noodles!
