As our big family spreads its wings with new relationships, children, homes, and endeavor, celebrations matter more than ever.
The truth is that we don't see each other as often as we did in the past. The distance is mainly due to the fact that our own children have become young adults with busy lives and events.
That's why our upcoming celebration of my dad's 89th birthday is so important. It's important to come together to celebrate our dad, a man who has devoted his days to our well being.
What matters is that the home is welcoming, the food delicious and hardy at this cold, winter time, and that there's a sense of warmth and cheer.
How will we create that ambiance?
There will be birthday hats and goody bags for young and old. There will be a nice platter of yummy, healthy appetizers. Dinner will include easy-to-serve healthy casseroles, veggies, and rice. And dessert will be the birthday cake, cookies, and ice cream.
It's important that busy, big families take pause to celebrate the special moments in family members' lives, and that's what we'll do for Dad.
