Anyone raised with Jewish dad and non-Jewish mom?

I’m curious if anyone here was raised with a Jewish dad and non-Jewish mom and still did some Jewish things as a family (e.g. celebrating some of the holidays, maybe some learning of Jewish ethics)? I’m curious to hear peoples’ experience with this.

I am Jewish but my wife is not Jewish, although she is very supportive of my Jewish heritage and practice of Judaism (I even recently started wrapping tefillin!). We went to a Passover seder together this year which she enjoyed, and she really likes the teachings in Pirkei Avot.

If we have kids, I understand the majority of the Jewish community will not recognize them as Jewish, I get it, I’m not here to argue about that. But I’m wondering to what extent we can still do Jewish things as a family, curious to learn from people who might have experience with this.
