Family Home Evening

Tonight we were able to go to a potluck/family home evening activity with some people from our ward. We had such an enjoyable time eating, talking, learning, and playing with friends. I made this delicious Strawberry Spinach Salad. It is one of my favorites!

 And Brad took good care of the kids while I prepared it!

I love family home evening. I think that it is such an inspired and important thing to incorporate into our families. As Kade has gotten older and has been able to participate more with our lessons it has been such a joy to teach him about the gospel in our home and watch him grow. Tenley's favorite thing about FHE right now is when we sing songs, but she also loves to point at the pictures and she is learning how to say "Jesus."
Seeing little testimonies grow in your children is the most amazing and wonderful thing to experience. We have been so blessed with such special spirits in our home.

President Thomas S. Monson said about family home evening:

"We cannot afford to neglect this heaven-inspired program. It can bring spiritual growth to each member of the family, helping him or her to withstand the temptations which are everywhere. The lessons learned in the home are those that last the longest."
