There were always the crazy nights with baseball practice but for the most part we ate together. Now the kids are older and when they are all here it's still great to sit around the table and chat. Even after the meal is over. Funny thing is that it's usually hubby that gets up first. We're always like, Where ya going?Anita @ GoingALittleCoastalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601157532080826275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908304119735110392.post-54723788472588912902011-01-06T13:41:29.821-06:002011-01-06T13:41:29.821-06:00Love the new setup.

We've made an effort to make sure the table is fully set with condiments, drinks and everything before dinner is ready and it's helped. I think i'm also going to start bringing an extra set of utensils to each meal, there's guaranteed to be someone who drops theirs!Rosebriarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00492170931139535736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908304119735110392.post-23156298767134430362011-01-06T09:46:26.238-06:002011-01-06T09:46:26.238-06:00I was talking about this last night with my Hubby....I was talking about this last night with my Hubby. I mentioned how this year I really want to focus on 'sitting down as a family' for dinner. years before we were so used to either eating in the living room, or Jayden eating earlier, in his high chair.<br /><br />I think it's great to really focus on 'family dinner time'. I also think it's healthy for the entire family and really brings everyone that much closer together.<br /><br />I think your 'new' dining room is coming along great! :)KLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12693335306875099367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908304119735110392.post-34130787481475647562011-01-06T09:33:12.327-06:002011-01-06T09:33:12.327-06:00Looks good Kirstin!

We struggle trying to all eat at the same time during the week as well. . .snacking on an assortment of veggies/fruit when we get home seems to help Jack hold out til 6:30.
