This year, our Family Back to School Feast was better than ever.
I was more energetic from last year and even had a desire to cook this time!
I really had fun setting the table and preparing the crowns for my children.
I felt like me. I felt normal.

Our Family theme comes from my Favorite Book,
and found in Jacob Chapter 4:3
"Our children will receive them with thankful hearts,
and look upon them that they may
learn with joy and not with sorrow"
This year I gifted my children with beautiful stained glass stars
with their names and their school grade.
By the time they graduate from school, they will have an
amazing collection of stars!
I also had a family star made with our new family theme.
