Family Home Evening with the Chaffee's

Tonight we had the Chaffee family over for dinner and Family Home Evening. Brother Chaffee and his daughters, McKayla and Michelle (Michelle had to leave early before I took pictures-- Michelle was our "daughter" on trek) came and had lasagna with us. After dinner, McKayla showed us some of the artwork she has done.McKayla was a sweetheart brought her watercolors and let us all create with her supplies.Mallory, Hayley and Brittney were in heaven--we had such a great time together. We ended the evening with root beer and orange floats.

Family Home Evening at the Ropelato home

Family Home Evening at our house is almost always an adventure!! It's always a fight to see who gets to give the lesson and be in charge! Brittney always wants to pick the songs (we sing "I Am A Child of God" and "I Love to See the Temple" every week) and she wants to lead the songs. Tonight, Mallory and Hayley both wanted to give the lesson. While Scott and I were cleaning up the dinner dishes, Mallory and Hayley were coming up and down the stairs several times "Setting Up" their lesson. I captured a picture of their set-up before we began. They had several pictures and toys arranged in the living room window seat. They had the CD player with Primary Songs plugged in and cued for the song they wanted to use during their lesson. Scott and I had to "Guide" their lesson so we could learn about a gospel principle. We talked about preparing for the temple and we listened to the "Family Night" song! They are so cute! We had special blankets laid out on the floor to sit on and lots of visuals to look out!!
