Since Kami's getting older and understanding so much these days, we decided it was about time to start having Family Home Evening. We've been wanting to do this for a while, but never knew where to start, so this last week, being that we celebrate our Pioneer Ancestors on July 24th, that would be as good a subject as any!
So, the evening went somewhat like this:
Prayer
Song: "Pioneer Children"
Song: "Pioneer Children" (by popular demand)
Song: "Pioneer Children" (again, by popular demand)
Lesson: Just a little 2 minute story about pioneers
Song: "Pioneer Children" (I'm starting to think at this point that I chose a good song to teach Kami! She doesn't want to stop singing it!)
Game: A cute little pioneer game I downloaded from the Finch Family Games website. This was also a success. We played it twice.
Song: "Pioneer Children"
Snack: What FHE wouldn't be complete without a snack?
And here's some pictures of our evening:

Kami singing 'Pioneer Children' (she was in charge of her own little songbook...even though it's not open to the right page, she did a fantastic job at singing along anyway!)
And playing our pioneer game!
And our (my) pretzel log cabin. Yet....something is missing.....
Ah yes! Pioneers are missing! Unfortunatly, after raiding my cupboards, the only thing I could find that would come close were "Go Diego Go" gummies. Oh well, it'll work! ;^)
Pioneer heritage or not, I hope everyone had a wonderful day remembering their ancestors!

Too cute! You and your craftiness....
Did you sing as you walked and walked and walked and walked and walked and walked and walked AND walked and walked and walked and walked and walked and walked A N D walked?
Thanks for the mormon husband blog, the guys seems quite creative!
Jenna and I liked your post!
Why are you so stinkin' cute?? You need to invite me over to show me the digi-scrapbooking stuff!! I mean it..don't just forget me I want to COME OVER!! I'm not inviting myself as you can clearly tell, just asking politely and subtly to INVITE ME OVER!! Talk to you at church, girlie!! ;)
Grandma and Grandpa had tears as they laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed AND LAUGHED! Thanks for the cutest blog ever. We'll expect an encore the next time we talk on the phone. GOOD for you...now's the time to start FHE...Keep up the good work. One of my regrets is that we were not consistent with real FHEs. Love and more love, Mom
Yaaay for FHE! We are trying to get back into it after the craziness of moving. We usually just echo whatever the nursery lesson was on Sunday - you know, to reinforce! Okay, and also because I'm lazy and we have the manual and some books with activities to go along with each lesson, so that makes it easy. Thanks for the inspiration to get back on the ball! Watch out Monday nights - here I come! :)
