I have seen and liked other peoples' ideas of back-to-school dinners in the past. But I've never felt a desire to do our own. Until this year! Suddenly I wanted to. Maybe it was the fact that it was Seb's last year of school…or I felt an urging to reset some expectations…I'm not sure what it was. But I thought of some words of wisdom to share (ha ha) to go along with the theme of Linked Together—something I've been really wanting for our family lately. For us to help each other. Be a team. When one rejoices, we all rejoice; when one suffers, we all suffer. And that's what I built our dinner around. (The words of wisdom were little heeded, and in fact barely listened to, I'm sorry to say—but I made the attempt, anyway.) We had fun decorating! The girls helped me blow up these funny chain balloons, and make colorful paper chains.
Each and every member of the family was happy to be there.
Daisy and Junie wanted to dress up, so they did!
Linked together. Vegetable and chicken kebabs. It kind of fits!
And we had the best chicken souvlaki and grilled vegetables with tzatziki and whipped feta dip for dinner!
