I'd like to say Family Home Evening is a special time that is filled with spiritual learning for both parents and children, but honestly our goal currently is to hold it regularly and well it's pretty quick due to the short attention span...or the anxiety of losing control. John usually does the lesson and we all take turns with song, prayer and treat.
We didn't have it Sunday night due to a pleasant surprise visit from Tom & Helga Jackson-who came bearing gifts-tomato plants. Tyler and I decided to do the lesson ourselves-I've read and heard of families having kids do the lessons and was inspired to get my kids more involved.
Monday afternoon Tyler and I sat down with The Friend and read about 4 articles and then she decided which story we'd share. McKenna came home and made caramel corn for our treat and since the story came with a scripture, she was also able to show off her new reading skills.
I have to say it was really a great experience for all of us, a new tradition that we'll do every week.
