white table cloth challenge



like a few people i know
i've set a couple of challenges for myself and my family for 2015
and last night... was the kick off for my white table cloth challenge.

for 52 sundays... 
i want to lay a white tablecloth, 
set a beautiful table,
and prepare a simple meal
 to share and enjoy.

but the challenge is... 
to encourage all four of us to contribute to the process of this creation.





































despite our hectic schedules, 
we are fortunate that we are still able to share several meals together.

 with the white table cloth,
i'm hoping to take it up a notch ...
and make our sunday meals an extra special celebration of life as a family. 

last night's menu was simple:
steak (barbequed by ian)
potatoes (peeled and mashed by cole)
salad (rinced and tossed my me)
candles and table (lit and set by libby)
leftovers (demolished within seconds by harlow)
