Every week on Monday nights Mormons around the world meet with their family to spend time together. We call it Family Home Evening or Family Night. There's even a song. I have to say that most Latter-Day Saint families don't sing the song or even know of its existence but being from the musically-inclined family I'm from, we did. Every week. We learned to conduct to that song!
Ben came up with an activity for Family Night this week (from a google-search - not a single original idea in this house!) that we thought we would share. Mostly because it was lovely and you might like to try it!
The idea was to write the alphabet on a sheet of paper in a column:
A
B
C
D
E
etc
and then I would write a word or phrase next to each letter that explained one thing about Ben that I love. He wrote a word or phrase on his paper with something about me that he loved. Cuteness ensued. As did made-up words (U is HARD!).
Why not give it a go?
