Family Home Evening

We had our very first FHE this week.  Yes, our very first mini family FHE and it felt pretty awesome.  Why did we wait so long to do one?  Well, honestly, because we always thought it was a little weird to do it alone when we didn't have kids and then when they came it just fell down to the bottom of our to-do list like a lot of things that shouldn't.  Now that they are both starting to understand things it seems to be the perfect time to start. 

It was all so random but we had so much fun.  We pulled up pictures of temples on the computer and taught them that our family can be together forever through the temple.  It's crazy to see how much they soak in and how willing they are to learn.  Elina's understanding is that Heavenly Father and Jesus live in there and begs us to go there all the time.  Talanoa can say the word temple and recognizes pictures of it.  She yells and points at my phone because my screen saver is a picture of the Provo temple.  It melts my heart that they get so excited just to see pictures and even to simply drive past it.  One day the excitement will be because they are actually go in it.  Can't wait! :)

Favorite part of FHE was when we pulled up a YouTube of primary kids singing "I Am a Child of God" to sing along with and Elina telling her Dad to please stop singing but letting Mom still sing.  Hilarious!
