Every other week we try to have a family night. It’s usually on Tuesday or Wednesday night, depending on our schedule. Sometimes family nights include special meals. This week we grilled hotdogs and hamburgers (my first attempt at making hamburgers from ground beef), mac & cheese, and brownie sundaes. These meals can be time consuming, since I also must make the hotdog rolls and hamburger buns. Josh grilled the meat on our Cambodian clay pot grill. (I’m very thankful for noodles and Velveeta cheese, which makes that an easy process.) We’re able to order the hotdogs and ground beef from a restaurant company in Phnom Penh. Thankful we have that option to provide us some fun meals.

Isaiah was in charge of dessert. It was a hit! He made brownies and added ice cream, whipped topping, and Hershey’s chocolate syrup.

For family night, Becca and Isaiah gave a “brass band: concert. They were quite excited about it. Afterwards Anna did a show with her Little People. Usually Josh and I do a show, but this week we didn’t. After all the shows, we played a few games and then headed to bed.

Our family nights are very simple: sometimes we do individual plays, sometimes we play hide-n-seek, sometimes card games, or sometimes each kid picks an activity for us to do. Our kids are not hard to please and it’s a wonderful way for us to relax and enjoy some extra time together. Thankful for the family God has blessed us with.

(Photos were taken on our phones…which don’t take very good pictures, but are much easier to snap pictures with.)
