Family Home Evening

We've been having so much fun with our Family Home Evenings around here lately.  Granted our little lessons last all of 3 minutes max, but it's so cute and fun to see them learning and remembering the things we are teaching them.  They talk about whatever we learn that week for the next few days.  And many times as we eat dinner they proudly announce that it's Family Night (which right now they would like if we had it every night...I'll remember that when they're teenagers and don't want to come at all.)

Here are some of the lessons we've had lately.

We had a lesson on the Sacrament.  We taught them that they should think of Jesus when we take the bread and water.  Now whenever we talk about it or go to Sacrament, they call it 'Sacra-minute'  I never want to correct them...ever.

We taught them about Prophets and that the prophets name today is President Monson, they now know his face and it's so cute to hear them say 'Presden Monson'  We also taught them the song 'Follow the Prophet' and it's now in their list of songs we have to sing to them every night (they have 4 we have to sing every night, I am a Child of God, I Love to see the Temple, Follow the Prophet, and I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and they both know every word to each of these songs.)

I bought them each their very own Book of Mormon and we learned the song Scripture Power, which apparently they already knew from Nursery cuz when the chorus started they pumped their scriptures into the air like they've sang the song a hundred times.

We had a lesson on missionaries, since we were having the missionaries over for dinner the next day.  We sang 'I hope they call me on a mission' and learned how to shake hands.  When the elders showed up the next day, it took a little convincing but they did shake their hands.

Then tonight we went and walked around the temple.  They are obsessed with the temple, especially since they see the temple every time we drive out of our driveway.  'Hi temple, see you soon temple.'  They know the angel on top is Angel Moroni and so they were pretty excited to go walk around now that the weather is so nice.  They were pretty hyper but it was a fun evening.
