My immediate family? We just like to spend time together, so the 12 of us get together quite often and eat and just hang out.
One of the things our pastor likes to say is that the Brethren like three things -- to worship, to eat, and to talk. Which is so so true. Within the fellowship of our church family, we get together a lot (weekly dinners at church, breakfast between sunday school and worship, church picnics, special events like Taters and Tunes) and do those three things.
I think that spending time together with food and family (blood or otherwise) and conversation is such an excellent thing, and I love that the kids get to be part of that.
That didn't really answer your question, but whatever. :)
