We had a prayer and some yummy pizza. Then we showed Makenna a picture of a family, "Here is the Mommy, Daddy, and Baby. Heavenly Father gave us families. This is a family. They are a happy family!" Makenna kept pointing to the baby. She really likes babies!
Next, I had made some people (basically I copied it out of the manual, colored it, and mounted it on thick paper) and put them in the little house Makenna got for her birthday (thanks Annie!). One at a time, Makenna took the people out of the house. "This is Daddy. This is Mommy. This is Makenna. This is our new baby brother. This is our family. We are a happy family!" Honestly, I think Makenna could have spent all night taking the people out of their house and putting them back in. She really liked us telling her who each person was too!
We ended by singing "We are a Happy Family" a couple of times. Also, lots of hugs and kisses! Then Makenna's bath and family prayer!Austin and I were both really excited about our FHE tonight. I mean, the lesson was only like 5 minutes long. But Makenna sat with us and mostly paid attention. What was the topic? Happy Families--so although it was very short, I think we got the point across, don't you? So we recommend the manual! It works!

That’s awesome Pam! I’m very excited for your progress. Maybe I should get the manual and practice with Tyler!
That's a great idea!! How is everything going? I haven't talked to you for a while.
Thank you once again for sharing fun times with your family. It is so amazing to see how these little ones take in things that are important to our Heavenly Father. I think he blesses us when we try to teach our families correct principles. Keep up the good work!!
Way to set the example, guys! Cute belly by the way Pam!
