Fancy Meal

Family Time Friday

I highly recommend families do their best to eat at least 4 meals together in a weeks time but they don't all have to be dinners.  Because of my family's schedule we make our 4 meals together breakfast.  

To make this meal time extra special now and then, make it "fancy."   Pull out the nice dishes, silverware, and napkins, you know the ones you only take out when the "important" people come for dinner.  Pulling all the nice stuff out for your kids will really make them feel special and it will be a great memory to have.  Get dressed up and make a big deal about it.

This will also help to teach them proper table manners for nice restaurants which means that sometime, maybe you can graduate to actually going to a nice restaurant with the kids.
