The holidays are here and for us this is our family time, obviously Lee is off school like the children and finally we can all relax and do family things together. This weekend has seen Erin and I going to the cinema to watch Paddington (go if you are tempted I thought it was brilliant) and Lee and Dylan were able to go and see the Cheltenham football game. Term time is crazy busy and we rarely see each other in the week let alone eat together as a five. I often eat with the children or the children eat together but without Lee and I. However come the holidays we usually manage to eat together most days.
When we are together it doesn’t even matter if it is a lovingly prepared meal that has taken ages or a quick throw it all together meal. It is the time to sit, eat and chat together that I enjoy.
Ikea recently sent us a dining pack which included this serving tray which I love.
On Christmas night I have the family over and I am planning on having some buffet food out that people can just pick at at this stand is going to look great on my festive table. Ikea know just what is needed to ensure that families can enjoy mealtimes together.
Do you eat on Christmas night? I am planning on having part baked bread rolls with a lovely cheeseboard. There will also be lots of crisps, dips and of course chocolate.
