Our Family Traditions

Some of our strongest memories are created through simple routines that are done regularly, whether daily, weekly, monthly, seasonally or yearly. I want my children's memories to be happy and grounded in our values and interests. Below are traditions we are developing as a family.
  • Family Huddle (daily)
  • Year-round Tree Decorating (seasonal)
  • Special hand signs (anytime): Hi Fly! wave, Monarch Heart silent love sign
  • Visiting the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens (monthly)
  • Visiting the Richmond Zoo (monthly)
  • Attend a Fall Festival (yearly)
