We have been trying our best to do Family Night every Monday with Kate. It is sometimes, (mostly) a struggle to get her to sit for our 1 minute lesson, but she is getting better.
Lesson:
Last night we taught her that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love her. I went through the whole family saying, "Kate, Mama, and Dada love you. And Grammy and Papa, and Grandma Pam, and Grandpa Nigel. Shel, and Danielle, and Mike, and Joel, Tyler, Jake, Addie, Carter...." And she got super close to my face and just sat so still listening to all the people that love her. And then we told her that Heavenly Father, and Jesus love her just as much, and even more. She was so quiet, and then folded her arms, and closed her eyes. Is was very cute. So, we ended right there with a quick prayer.
Activity:
Dance Party, fun for us, fun for her, and burns off the last bit of energy before bed.
The Dance Party playlist: (Not very spiritual)
You Make my Dreams - Hall & Oates
That's Not My Name- Ting Tings
I Gotta Feeeling- Black Eyed Peas
Meet Me Halfway-Black Eyed Peas
Jungle Drum- Emiliana Torrini
Treat: Cookies baked while we danced in the kitchen. Warm cookies and ice cream are perfect together.
Such a fun night!

funny, we had the same lesson last night. straight out of "Behold your little ones". next week = jesus shows us how to love others. isnt it great to see these little kids learn about christ?
Becky, so cute to think about you guys doing the same thing, on the same night! I love that manual, and it is just perfect for our girls. Kate really is leaving about the gospel, and it makes me really happy! Wished we lived closer!
