Bart is always the genius behind many of our creative Family Home Evenings on Monday nights! With him in Australia I had to step it up (mostly because I knew he would be asking) and I can proudly say I did a really fun lesson with the kids.
The lesson was all about being thankful and expressing love to others.
I told them how important it is to let others know that you love and appreciate them for their time, talents or things they do to serve.

I then had each child pick a strip that had something for them to do
Bailey had to write a note to her brother or sister. She picked Parker and I love how she wrote "You are nice" (which he promptly ripped up after a couple of minutes - real Nice!)
Parker had to write a note to Grandpa Rod (He was coming to babysit that night). Gotta love what he told me to write - Random!
Then we went to visit this little butterball for his 1st birthday and bring him a gift!I love this baby!
My kids loved watching him try to open the present!It took everything for Parker to restrain himself from grabbing that gift and ripping it open himself!
I think they learned a little about saying Thank you to others!
So, why do I still have to constantly remind them?
