I take DD to church every Sunday and sometimes DP comes. Doesn't sound like a 'tradition' as such, but we never went before DD was born, so it kinda is.
At Xmas time, the tree goes up the first weekend in December for us. We decorate it together, usually with an orphaned friend or two. I always go to Carols in the Domain and take DD (well, she's only had two, but it's a start!) and this year DP has promised to come with us (now DD is old enough to want him there!). And we go along to our church's kid's Xmas paegent on Xmas Eve.
We have an Easter egg hunt in the backyard at Easter time. Before our DD we used to have friends' kids around, last year it was just for her, but we might extend it next year.
I write DD a special letter to put away for her every birthday.
We have a bedtime ritual where we sit with her beside her bed and talk about her day and what she's going to do tomorrow (after the bath, bb and story routine). We kiss her good night and I have a special saying I whisper in her ear each night.
