So remember this post (
Sometimes Once a Year Feels Like Too Much…) when I relayed our eventful and embarrassing visit to the Bishop's office for tithing settlement? Well, the embarrassment continued this Sunday when we had the home teachers over. The polite home teacher asks the kids, "What is the most important meaning of Christmas?" Hunter blurts out, "PRESENTS!" To which I reply, "Are you kidding me?!" He then says, "What? Is it about family or something?" He then was promptly assigned to teach his second family night in a row (the last one was on tithing) which was on the true meaning of Christmas. I then had a mini-break down where I wondered how it was that after 10 years of family nights, every week almost without fail, he did not understand what tithing was or what Christmas was really about. Seriously. BUT, hopefully they will all remember they had fun together every week, right?

Ashton was in charge of the games and he chose "Button, button, whose
got the button?" All of the kids STILL love this game. |

| A little more distraction--Robert's given up in the background |

| Christian gets in on it |

| And why not make a human pyramid for family night? |

On a more pleasant note, we purchased our first real Christmas tree this year and boy does it smell festive!

I think that same think every FHE night when it is total chaos, someone is crying and someone is farting on someone else's head. Remember what Elder Bednar said though, just be consistent.
Great pictures. Especialy Ashton in the Christmas tree. !!!!! Love Grandma
I think secretly he loves teaching Family Home Evening so he makes it a point to "earn" the privilege. :)
Truly you guys are beyond fabulous parents. They are indeed learning something.
Your family is eerily similar to my own. Perhaps that is why we have enjoyed reacquainting with each other so much. You and Robert truly are outstanding parents.
