Social faux pas for the holidays
Yesterday, I logged into our state's events page to see if anything interesting was going on in Lincoln to do while we were in town running boring old errands. Given that it was a Saturday and during the holday season, I figured we had a good chance. I found a German feast in Fremont that sounded interesting, so we decided to go.
After I finally found it, no thanks to Map Quest, we almost turned around and left. We were dressed in everyday, errand running clothes. The dining hall was decorated nicely with dimmed lights and white table cloths. The other guests were dressed in suits and nice dresses. We were a little out of place, to say the least.
But we stayed and the food was wonderful. And I was so proud of my three little munchkins. Their table manners are not always the greates, due in part to the fact that we do not actually have a table at home and thus their practice at it is limited. But my Mouse (8) was very concerned about placing her silverware in the proper place, holding her utensils properly and sitting and eating like a young lady. The baby did NOT throw any food and Bear (3) sat relatively still and ate nicely.
