Back to School Feast

We started a new tradition in our home. Every year before school starts we'll have a special dinner and reveal our family motto for the year. This motto is something I want the kids to remember and really internalize. We tried to pick something really simple this year that the kids would understand. This will also be the time when Lane gives the kids a father's blessing for school. I wanted to make the table look extra special, so I got this pretty new table cloth. Each of the kids got a crown to wear. Elliot requested chicken on a bone...aka...fried chicken leg. Since I wasn't going to try and make that at home, we just ordered out and brought everything home. The kids really enjoyed it and hopefully this will make a big impact on our family.
