A New Tradition

I have decided to start asking my kids (and perhaps my husband and myself) questions each year on their birthdays. Kind of a record of who they were and what they loved at that moment in their lives. Hopefully it is a tradition that will stick. Anyone with ideas for questions, please let me know. This was what I came up with off the top of my head. I'm sure there are some better ones out there.
