::back to school dinner::

I'm big on family traditions.  We've been having a back to school dinner for 4 years now, and we love it.  Even our extended family loves it-they want to know all about it too.  We love that!

This year's theme was pretty simple and straightforward...

Work Hard

and

Be Nice

To People

When I decided on that for the theme for the year, I mostly had Bubb in mind.  Especially for the be nice to people part.  He's sometimes not very nice to people-well me...and Ava.  I hope he's nice in school.  We, of course, want all of them to work hard always, an also be nice to everybody.  I just felt like it fit.

For dinner we had roast chicken with vegetables.  I've made it once before.  I got the recipe here.  It's even called "perfect roast chicken."  This blog belongs to my cousins, their food is amazing!  We've made a few things from their site.  The roast chicken was a family favorite after one bite!

I didn't plan out my day too well, what with the pet bunny and all, so dinner was a little later than I would've liked, but it was delish, and we had ice-cream with hot fudge and sprinkles for dessert (no photos of that-we ate it too fast :]

We hope we all have a great school year.  We're super excited about school, teachers, our backpacks, our clothes, our friends, the bus, our crayons, chips in our pencil box, eating lunch at school, and everything else that goes along with it. Some things might change for us midyear (hopefully), but we're prepared for that, and I think we'll do just fine :]
