Best of both worlds

Fridays around here are fun!  A few years ago, thanks to our dear friend Margot, we got the idea of having a pizza and movie night.  Margot and her family began the tradition and now we are following right along.  Before pizza and movie night  Fridays were reserved for date night. So, basically, Fridays have always been special in the Worthey household.

Lately, Marshall and I have had the best of both worlds- a date AND time with the children.  We have been getting away around 4:00 on Friday afternoons, grabbing a drink together and then ordering pizza and bringing  a movie back home.  Sometimes, that does mean we are up rather late on Friday nights, but the joy it brings to our family is priceless.  The children now say, "I can't wait for pizza and movie night and what movie are we watching this evening?"

Traditions.  A word with a huge meaning.  The things that we do and the time we put into our families mean so much. All children need traditions - things their family does together . I believe that as our children grow, it is even more important to spend time together as a family.  Not always easy, but definitely worth it.  Praying that as our children grow up and become adults the traditions we shared as a family will be passed on.  Who knows, maybe we will come over to their  homes and have pizza and movie night with them.

Have a blessed weekend making traditions with your family.
