Traditions

Every year the night before the first day of school we order pizza and have a family night. we end the night each one praying for the new school year to be blessed and great! I love building these simple traditions into the lives of our children. Some days pizza just tastes better than others, tonight was one of those days!
Back packs are full and lined up by the door, outfits are laid out neatly waiting for warm little bodies to jump into them bright and early in the morning. My favorite of all is that every year since Dominique was in Kindergarten I let the kids pick WHATEVER they want in the whole world to eat for breakfast on the first day of school. We have had some crazy breakfast ideas over the years. I will let you all know tomorrow what they all choose.

Great ideas! You're a great mom, Angela. I can't imagine the first day back to school with six kids! Eeekkk.

Those traditions will live on when your own kids have their families. It's a wonderful thing.
