One of Daniel's family traditions, that dates back almost 20 years, is a huge family dinner every Sunday. During their peak, it included Daniel's family (5 total), his grandparents (2), and his Aunt Mary Jo, Uncle Chris, and their 7 kids. Can you imagine? I was lucky enough to get in a whole year of action before we got married when I was living in Houston. We have lost some members since then, but now that we live in Houston, we are able to partake again. Unfortunately, our beloved cousins will be moving at the beginning of the summer, so I am thrilled our two girls get to make some memories before these huge functions come to an end. Not that Sunday dinners will stop, but with the Kenny's gone, it definitely won't be the same.
These Sunday dinners definitely make Sunday everything it should be -- worship, resting, and spending quality time with family. I can only hope my girls (or at least Emily) will have some memories to take away from them. Inevitably, something funny always happens. Whether it is banter at the dinner table or Emily attempting to breastfeed her duck at inopportune times, we always go to bed with a huge smile on our face. Here is a glimpse of the joy Sunday dinners bring to Emily. Despite the horrible phone quality and low lighting, the squeals should speak for themselves as Emily is pulled around on a sled.
