'Pioneer Children' FHE

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!
