Family Night

The article written by Alonso Kramer

Every Sunday night at our house we try to have Family Night. This is the one night of the week that everyone is supposed to be at home to spend time together. These days our lives are so hectic with everyone going different directions we just about have to set aside time that we can all be together. So every Sunday night we all get together and have a big meal that usually includes cooking something out on the grill. Everyone is expected to chip in and help so one person is not having to do all the cooking. Then after we eat, we all go into the great room and watch a movie together. The movie time has been great lately since we got direct tv specials because we have some free movie channels for three months with an enormous selection to choose from. The guys always want to watch some kind of action movie, but the girls want to watch a love story or drama. So we had to compromise and watch an action movie one week and love story or drama the next week. We usually have dessert while we are watching a movie. Sometimes it is something like homemade ice cream, and other times it can be something as simple as s’mores. My family is not hard to please. I hope one day they will enjoy Family Night with their own children and pass it on to the next generation.
