My family has a tradition. All the moms get together and have a moms day out shopping, having lunch, doing girl things, whatever we want. The dads hang out at home together and do fun things with the kids. We were all stay-home moms when the kids were little, so it was nice to have an entire day to ourselves. This year it was me, my mom, my sister-in-law, and my niece, who, at age 16, has decided it's more fun to hang with us than the dads. We went fabric shopping, had lunch, went shoe shopping, went to a coffee shop, checked out the new toys at Best Buy, went to a bookstore, had drinks, and most of all, laughed and laughed. I wouldn't trade these experiences for anything.
