Breakfast in FamilyOf5Land!

We had a great time last night. We went over to one of DadOf3's co-worker's house. They have a 14 year old son and an 8 year old daughter. Princess loves to play with their daughter and the boys just love their son. Their son is so patient with the kids even though he really looks forward to playing cars with the adults. We played Sequence (a very fun game) and Speed. We usually play Pitch and Euchre. We got home very late last night, around 11:30. So the kids slept in this morning.

When they got up the Princess and the Prince had breakfast together. It was so cute. My little Princess asked "How was your day?". The Prince answered, "Great! How was your day?" It was 8:30 in the morning but they were mimicking our dinner time ritual when we go around the table and ask everyone how their day was.

I love that we have dinner together as a family. There is only one night in recent memory when we did not have supper together. (Princess had supper with AB and his family last Tuesday.) Dinner is a time to reconnect and take turns listening to each other. It is so important that we have a forum where everyone has a chance to be heard.

It just made my day to hear Princess and Prince do this without my prompting this morning at breakfast! :)
