Family Night

To start off with. Trey sang in church on Sunday (12/14) with the primary, and he did a wonderful job. The primary chorister really gets all of the kids, but especially Trey singing loud and clear. It was really sweet. Then in Primary they asked the kids what they could give Jesus for Christmas. Hands went up in the air with answers like, Reverence, Be Nice, Snow and at the last minute Trey raised his hand and said to be like him, to be like Jesus. It was so sweet.

Family night tonight was fun. As I mentioned we have an elf. His name is Chip. He came to live with us during Christmas last year, and has come again this year. As the kids are good, and do their chores, listen to momy and daddy, and be good, Chip in turns travels to the North Pole every night and tells Santa if they have been good. Well, tonight Chip left the kids a present under the tree. We openend it and it was Dinsey Scene It (for those who do not know, Scene It is a really fun game, but this one is all about Disney Movies). We first had a Family Night about the true meaning of Christmas where Trey and Alyssa came up with ideas on how we can keep the true meaning of Christmas by being nice, listening and giving others gifts. It was really sweet. Then we had bath time, and finally we played Scene it. Which they loved. I recommend it to all of you with small children. Donnie and I enjoyed it as well. We then had a treat and put the kids down. It is funny how when we have a structured family home evening, the kids really enjoy it and act better and feel better. It is a testimony to me, that family time (in todays world especially) is so important. I love my family and enjoy every minute I am able to spend with them.
