I can SO relate to that. Mine are on another continent. :( I've worked really hard to establish new traditions for our little family, and that actually helps A LOT. Now I think of holidays as "ours" not just "theirs" that I'm missing out on. I still miss them of course, but it makes our own holidays so much more enjoyable! Anyway, happy belated Easter! I realize I'm totally late posting this. Was going through my google reader and commenting on starred posts when I realized this one somehow got a little buried!

It's not necessarily what you do or it being the same as you remember, it's just giving your girls the same feelings of family and tradition that you hadAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381449363569968074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267032086124825680.post-44761470902749570762011-04-26T15:55:21.641-04:002011-04-26T15:55:21.641-04:00Great pictures Carol!

It's great though that you guys can make your own traditions!

Although, I know how easy it is to remember old memories and recall past traditions. We want those special traditions for our families because they were so special to us, as kids. <br /><br />It's hard living in a place without family ... and it hits me during the holidays as well. It's just hard. <br /><br />I wish we could have been together to celebrate such a special day!!<br /> <br />Miss ya TONS!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04604178614376755255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267032086124825680.post-23471221211038595052011-04-26T10:22:47.365-04:002011-04-26T10:22:47.365-04:00Carol..what a great photo of you and the girls, no...Carol..what a great photo of you and the girls, no strange faces...LOL! I am sure it is hard for you to be away from your family on the holidays. The hubs and I just had this discussion on how our child memories differed and the traditions that we did growing up are now just memories. We will, and try to, incorporate some what we know into our new traditions with our kids. You are truly blessed to have a beautiful family and I know that they dod not know any different on the holidays. It is what you want it to be. And I am sure no matter where you are, you want the A/C to work..LOL!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08633343164367305564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3267032086124825680.post-72887495598486288132011-04-26T01:43:58.683-04:002011-04-26T01:43:58.683-04:00Great post, Carol.

I wish we could just stay home and have "small family" time sometimes. Then I feel guilty about the fact that our parents are aging (Mike's dad just passed last Thanksgiving) and we won't always have the opportunity to celebrate "big family-potluck style" forever. I have a feeling one day I'll be longing for the hectic get togethers. I feel your pain on being torn between wanting to create memories for your girls simliar to your own cherished memories and branching out to establish traditions of your own. I love the girls' coordinating dresses...makes me a little sad I didn't have 2 girls to dress alike.
