back to school dinner...llama style.

to celebrate their first day back to school, I wanted to have a special dinner, but I wanted to change it up from the usual school theme. we developed a thing for llamas over the summer..probably from chasing them around in a field on one of our trips..haha..but they all came home with a little version. so I centered the theme around it. I had intentions of making a yummy dinner..but, you know..life..so that didn't happen with the craziness of the day and getting home late. but, it worked out for the better because it totally made their night getting to drive through chick fil a and bring it home. sometimes it's just easier going with the flow than stressing over the details planned. and everyone was happy. everyone had a great first day and just getting up and on time alone after sleeping in all summer was definitely a reason to celebrate. 

back to school.

I have loved sticking with the little tradition I started a while back, of having a little something for the kids to come home to their first day back to school. A place that celebrates an early morning, getting through the first day and all the nerves that can bring, and back to the routine. Just creating a place they can sit around and talk about their day over a little snack and treat. I hope they will always remember their first days as special ones.
