family dinners


For Christmas, one of my favorite gifts was a book called, The Family Dinner, by Laurie David. I love our family meal times. In fact, it is my favorite part of the day when we all gather around the table and share in a meal together. It's been more fun as the boys have been able to bring their interesting conversations to the table. It is a special time of the day when we all can share parts of our day with one another and David can hear all about the things we did while he was away at work and vice versa. I love the idea of cooking together as a family. The boys already help me prepare many of our meals but when David is able to join us the evening is so much more special. One night we did breakfast for dinner. Asher and David were in charge of cutting the fruit and preparations for omelets and Jonas and I prepared the waffles.

What a great practice, and a classic picture!
Twenty-five years ago, David could make a mean French Toast. The next time you do breakfast for dinner...
