Family Home Evening Group

Two Sundays ago we had a combined lesson about emergency preparedness. Part of the lesson was to break the ward into neighborhood groups. The groups are supposed to help each other with cleaning the chapel, emergency preparedness and with Family Home Evenings. Ideally we would get together once a month or so with some or all of the group.
We decided to kick off having FHE in our home by inviting Ashley, Eliot and Bryan over for some FHE fun! Eliot just learned to smile by being asked to "show his teeth" and I just think it's the cutest thing in the whole world!
Morgan's cute pouty look.
In keeping with the cuteness theme is how much Eliot enjoyed sitting with Cody!
What FHE with two little rowdy boys looks like. We had a 2 minute lesson on prayer, colored a little...mostly the table thanks to Morgan, sang a few songs and ate some popsicles. Then it was playtime for the activity...and bathtime.
Only the little ones participated in bathtime but they seemed to enjoy themselves just the same.
We are so grateful for our wonderful ward here in Harlem and especially for our great friends who make life here so special.
Thanks for joining us Melgars!

It looks like you had a good time. That was mighty quick blogging! We had a good FHE too. We went to a park for our activity and then had ice cream for dessert. Fun times.

Two things made me especially laugh. First, the look Eliott is giving Morgan when Morgan is upset. Kids are always so confused at other kids' tantrums. How quickly they forget... Also, the only th elittle ones bathed. Very funny Beth. Very funny

What cute pictures! I really can't believe how big the little guys are getting. N-FHE is a great idea; we're lucky to still be included in our group!
