I've seen many bloggers have a "Back to School Brinner" the evening before school starts as a way to celebrate and send-off their school aged children. With Sammy entering his final year of preschool, this year seemed like the perfect time to start a new tradition!
I love the idea of a Back to School Brinner because:
1. I'm a teacher, so our mornings don't allow time for a big breakfast.
2. We're more awake and alert for meaningful conversations vs. being half asleep in the morning.
3. With Dustin working third shift, he's not home in the morning for our breakfast, so this works best for our schedule.
I ordered a few decorations to make it seem extra special, and set the menu. I was really excited to make this a tradition for our family!
Here are a few pictures of the decorations from our Back to School Brinner:
We have breakfast for dinner about twice a month at our house, and it's one of Sammy's favorite meals. The menu was Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip pancakes, bacon (obviously), fruit and eggs. Super easy!
Sammy thought it was so fun to have a special dinner celebrating him. We tucked him into bed and read The Night Before Preschool before saying goodnight. We're so excited for our big boy!
