***I'm determined to catch up on cataloging our family's events this year. Be ready for outdated posts galore!

Family Night


so much for a typical FHE.

ours went a little like this:

grace had to be threatened with time out to sit on the couch with us.
madison was ariel and would only refer to dan as "prince eric". (the little mermaid)
occasionally she was odette and that made dan "prince derick". (swan princess)
we tried a bajillion times to tell grace that the scriptures are called the book of mormon.
she adamantly responded, book of woman.
and we died laughing every time.
we started singing "i'm trying to be like Jesus" octaves too high and were squeaking by the end.
then we played the dr. suess matching game
and skipped treats.

the truth of the matter is... this IS our typical FHE.

choas.
laughing.
singing.
loving.
feeling the Spirit.

that's the goal, right? minus the chaos...

If we all only tried for the "perfect" family home evenings, it would just never happen.
I am a firm believer that the best memories are not fancy vacations, or well planned out events, it's the everyday adventures that occur randomly throughout our lives that are the best memory makers!
