Family Home Evening

"We cannot afford to neglect this heaven-inspired program. It can bring spiritual growth to each member of the family, helping him or her to withstand the temptations which are everywhere. The lessons learned in the home are those that last the longest.”
-President Thomas S. Monson

In our church, Monday nights are set aside from other activities to spend time with our families and to learn more about the gospel. We call it Family Home Evening, or F.H.E. 

Our family loves it!! We have two young boys with a very tiny attention span, so we keep our lessons simple. 

I also have lessons ready...you know, for those nights when I can't get it together! (Which happens more often than I would like to admit!!)
I keep them, in alphabetical order, in a file box with a handle. 

LOVE it! So easy to find a topic we want to work on!


Then, we always do something together! Whether it's playing a board game or feeding the ducks!


It's such a treasured night and the blessings that it brings is worth all the greatest efforts!!
