I know we have lots that I probably don't even realize, but here's a few I can remember.
Whoever's birthday it is gets to pick where we eat out (I am very glad DD's are past the McDonald's being their favorite place stage
). When we have cake I always use the same candles (they are numbers), so this year when DD turned 12 we used the #1 from when her sister turned one 19 years ago and the #2.
Whenever someone in the house sneezes, they get a "bless you" from anyone in earshot and 2 kisses blown at them.
Everytime someone leaves, they will stand either at the front door or the door to the garage and say goodbye, then everyone else will go to them (Dash too) and give them a kiss and a hug goodbye. Then we wait at the front door to wave goodbye as they drive away.
DH has "Friday night tradition" (and that is exactly what we call it) to take DD's (now just one since oldest has moved out) out to supper, usually just a fast food place, but they enjoy the time alone. Although the night has now changed since he subs for a bowling team alot, so they just call it the Tradition.
Bedtime every night, DH tucks DD in first and they usually do something silly (like DH pretends he is the one going to bed and DD tucks him in, turns out the lights and leaves the room and then they both say "hey, wait a minute" and switch back) then when they are done I hear "MOMMA" as loud as can be and I know it's my turn to finish tucking her in.
We go out for ice cream when report cards come out (other times too, but always when report cards come out).
I don't know if this is tradition or not, but DD and I go to the movies nearly every weekend and plan it during the "game" so that DH can watch in peace
