Yesterday and today we had parent/teacher conferences for the girls. Both of them are doing very well in school and as a reward we decided to have a special 'Good Grades Dinner'. (Thanks to my friend Heidi for the great idea). Jason thought it would be fun to break out the fondue set. We had steak, chicken, shrimp and broccoli that we cooked in a broth recipe, then used BBQ sauce, teriyaki, butter and ranch for dipping sauces. They thought it was great that they were 'cooking' their own dinner. I really enjoyed it because it gave us quite a bit of 'quality' time and conversation around the dinner table as a family. I feel like they are speed eaters most of the time, but the fondue actually kept them interested and entertained while providing nourishment at the same time. Tatum picked out mini cupcakes at the store for dessert and they were able to have all they could drink Sunkist in the 'fancy glasses' (quite the treat for them).
