This past weekend my family cooked breakfast at a Ronald McDonald House in our area. I prepared my children (some of the families we would be cooking for have children that are very sick and possibly dying). We prepared a menu - bacon, pancakes, cinnamon buns, bagels, muffins, cereal, juice, and strawberries and dip. Everyone complained that they had to get up early, but we did so anyway. What a morning. They had a ball. They wore aprons and did a fantastic job. They had so much fun - we are planning another trip to the House in January. My youngest son methodically set the buffet table, my middle son whipped up great cinnamon buns and did a terrific job finding what we needed to cook and my oldest made the best pancakes!
We've started a new tradition. The Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend is a must and a few other times throughout the year. We know now that bacon goes quickly, fresh fruit gets devoured and french toast will be fun to make next time.
I climbed into bed Sunday night and felt like a stellar mom.
Thankful,
