On Instagram, Dingdong shared that the tradition involves writing down dreams and intentions each year, a ritual they typically do by themselves, but that their kids joined them this year.
"On Easter Sunday, we found ourselves under a tree by the lake. It's a ritual Marian and I have quietly kept for years—writing down our dreams and intentions before each new year begins. But this time, we brought the kids in," he began.

To help their kids connect with the tradition, they called it a "wish list"—something easier for them to understand. However, what Zia and Sixto wrote took their parents completely by surprise.
"What they wrote took us by surprise. No toys. No faraway places. Just the purest things: time together. More presence. Taking care of one another. Helping others," Dingdong revealed online.
Dingdong admitted that upon reading their list, it felt truly humbling and deeply moving.
"It made us pause. Because sometimes, in the middle of all the doing and chasing, you forget what's already here. And maybe that's all we need every now and then—a quiet pause, a bit of space, a moment to listen to each other and remember what really matters," he had written.
The actor ended his post with a message that resonated with many parents and followers.
"Some wishes are quiet. Some are grand. Some, we've been living all along. And what a meaningful day to be reminded of that—on Easter, a day of resurrection, reflection, and hope."
Fans quickly flooded the comments section of Dingdong's viral post, praising the couple's approach to parenting and the grounded values they've instilled in both their children.
