3 out of 5 nights my husband get home around 7 so it is just me and the kids sitting down to dinner but I have started to make it special buy having flowers on the table and lighting candles. The kids love blowing them out at the end of dinner. But my favorite day of the week is Sunday when we have dinner at my inlaws. My mother-in-law is an amazing cook and there is either a homemade pie or struedel or ice cream for dessert. It is somehting magical about having Sunday dinner at your grandparents. It was always my favorite as a child too!
