Traditions

Family traditions are things in my family that no one really talks about but we know they are there. Cooking in my family has always been a important thing. My moms side of the family's last name is Cook witch is kind of funny. My grandpa always says "if the wife cant make a pie she isnt a good wife" He gives us lots of cook books and lessons on how to make pie. Every major family event he always brings pie and has made it a tradition to give everyone a rolling pin when they become "of age". Another thing that i have noticed about my families eating traditions over the years is out of all my friends me and my family are one of the one people i know that eat dinner together. All my friends famlies eat a different times than eachother and me and mine always sit down and eat together. Also another tradition is we have turkey dinner at thanks giving and prime rib for christmas eve every year. And i ask my mom about it and we have been doing it for years. Christmas day every year we also eat breakfast with my grandpa because he lives alone and we always eat ham, eggs, baccon, and juice. Its funny to see how family traditions such as food are passed along over the years.
