For our anniversary (today), my husband suggested we try to remember all the summers in our married life. The first four were easy to reconstruct and I passed them on to two of our sons. It filled in some details they had never heard before.
It's a funny thing, but I have to actually remind myself that they don't know all the family history that I do because they were either too little or not there.
"When family stories are hard to tell" at NY Times has some good advice for family life: tell the stories when they're happy, funny, or even hard to tell.
