Buffet Style Meals
Over the years, mealtimes proved to be stressful. Their only option for feeding everyone was to serve all of their meals buffet style, according to the family. So, instead of passing food around the table, the children usually helped themselves. And after the family had eaten, they would enjoy time together around the dinner table.
In celebration of the McCaughey septuplets’ 13th birthday, TLC produced a documentary about their lives. Because Ann Curry of the Today Show had followed their story since their birth, she was instrumental in putting the piece together. The TLC special, “America’s Septuplets Turn 13,” aired on December 28, 2010.
