Kristina was finally able to pick up her plate last night. Doesn't it look great?! She was inspired by the "Waechtersbach Plate" tradition to create something comparable. But, I really like the Spanish touch! Here is the description of the Waechtersbach Plate from Amazon.com:
"It was a time honored tradition among early American families when someone deserved special praise or attention, they were served dinner on The Red Plate. Today this custom, so dear to early American families, returns to remind us a simple reward can mean so much. The Red Plate is the perfect way to acknowledge a family member's special triumphs . . . celebrate a birthday . . . praise a job well done . . . reward a goal achieved . . . or simply say "You are Special Today". When The Red Plate is used, any meal becomes a celebration, honoring that special person, event, or deed. It is a visible reminder of love and esteem, a way of showing someone dear to you they are appreciated and remembered."
I'm really looking forward to many years of special family memories spent around our dinner table.
