Traditions

It's quite interesting to see your kids begin to internalize the values that you as parents believe. One of the main values we, (as in me and Hubby), try to drill into the girls' heads in the importance of family. As in, family comes first. Always.

For the last few weeks, my mom and dad have been picking the girls up on Fridays and keeping them till either Hubby or I can get home from work. Then one Friday mom invited us to stay for dinner. That same night, my sister and her partner came over too; a big old family dinner. The girls loved it, so the next Friday they invited themselves to stay for dinner and we all showed up again. We joked that this should become a tradition. Of course the girls locked on to that, so you can imagine that chaos that happened last Friday when we couldn't (for various reasons) have dinner last week.

Needless to say, we were all there tonight.

Okay, I'm going into withdrawal! (No judgment - just want you to know that you are missed when you're too busy to post!)
