january :: prepare



one of the things on my 28 before 29 bucket list,
and items of {focus} this year,
is to hold a
simple & sweet family home evening every week.

my kids LOVE family home evening,
and though it's usually super-duper simple & a wee-bit crazy with the toddler...
i know that it is something that strengthens us as a family {when} we do it. ♥

we often have to get creative with the day & time we hold fhe
[because of work schedules]
but i hope to share little weekly recaps of what we've done each time...
as a record of the things we've learned.

this afternoon, we had our first fhe of the year, kicking off our january theme, PREPARE.

we learned about the sermon on the mount & the parable of the wise man/the foolish man. we finished by recording goals in our newly chloe-created {dunn family goal book.}



it was happy. ♥

song: i will follow god's plan for me
lesson: the sermon on the mount/the wise man & the foolish man parable
discuss: how can we build our house upon a rock/have jesus be our foundation?
activity: set goals as a family in our goal book

The thought of a Dunn family goal book makes me happy. :) I am so impressed you have 54 FHE's all planned out and linked. SOOOOOOOOOOOOO impressed. For FHE tonight we went over the *fabulous* article by Pres. Monson (first pres. message). Probably the best "New Year" message I've ever read.

P.S. BTDUB, I love your new header.
