It SNOWED!

Sarah LOVES the first snowfall. She knows that it's one step closer to her birthday. I made the girls wait for Samuel to go down for a nap before I bundled them up for fun in the backyard. After fifteen minutes of bundling (I hate bundling...) they finally got to go play! Sarah jumped right in for a snow angel. HAPPY WINTER!

Recognizing the Spirit

Tonight for family home evening, we talked about how to recognize the Spirit. With small children, these sort of discussions do not last long but we did our best. Bibs was tired for lack of nap today, thus making her grouchy and distracted. When we started to sing the closing song, I am a Child of God, she sat in my lap with her blankie. When the song was over, she said, excitedly, "Mom, I'm not sad anymore! Mom, I'm not sad anymore!" I was so happy, it was a perfect moment to explain the feelings of the Spirit, and how to recognize it. It was a perfect ending to a somewhat imperfect Family Home Evening.
