[quote=Anonymous]I'm a PP who does these dinners.  My kids are young (3 and 5) but like 1:32 I think the dinners will only get better as the kids get older.  My kids love seeing the grandparents and aunts, uncles, and cousins every Sunday.  The only thing I see changing down the road is timing - the kids go to bed early these days so we tend to go over after nap and stay from 3:30-7.  When no one is napping and they can stay up later, we will probably shift the time back a bit.  I should add that my family has been doing this for as long as I've been alive and I loved going over to my grandparents' house on Sundays.  I had a really close relationship with that set of grandparents and I attribute it largely to these dinners.  My husband, who really didn't have anything like this growing up, was somewhat reluctant at first, but has definitely come around to enjoying the dinners as well.  One less meal we have to plan/cook per week and the kids are entertained by someone other than us for half a day :)[/quote]
