One thing that I have tried to do with all three "kids" is to have them cook with me. It's been a great way to connect with them individually and make something delicious at the same time! Take a look at this old picture I found of my stepson and I making stuffed shells at my parent's house back in 1992! I'm surprised no feathers from the parakeet landed in our food :) Lauren is the master decorator for cakes - she decorated this yummy cake back in 2010: Dominic is a big help, especially now that he can read me the list of ingredients!

I asked the "kids" if they wanted to make a cake for their dad. All three of them said yes. When I told the hubby of our cake making plans, he remarked a few times, "oh, they don't have to!" ...
