On Easter we all greet one another with "Happy Easter, bunny!" because that's how my grandmother used to greet us.

St. Patrick's Day is a special day in my family because that is the day my dad got home from Korea. So we always fuss, which my dad likes less and less as he gets older.

When my nephew and nieces were little, as well as bridal and baby showers, we always had to take a picture of the cake!

My youngest nieces, my sister's daughter and my brother's youngest daughter, are the same age. They are 3 months apart. I bought a pickle Christmas tree ornament when they were little, and without realizing I had bought one, my mom also bought one. (They're quite different!) So when they were growing up I always had "found the pickle" gifts for them -- colored pencils, funky socks, stickers, that sort of thing. My grandmother gave them pajamas for Christmas from their first Christmas until she passed away. They would go put the pajamas on and we would take a picture of them dressed in the same Christmas jammies.

Gosh, these are really tied to my grandmother and her great-grandchildren
