Jeremy and I had a fun New Years Eve. We played almost all the boardgames we have, including a new one I got Jeremy for Christmas-it's the Napoleon Dynamite game =]. We also bought a couple of different flavors of Sparkling Cider to drink and made yummy seven layer burrito dip to munch on. We were in bed asleep by about 11:30 so we almost made it to midnight. We made some personal and family goals for Family Home Evening on New Years Day and are excited to try and reach them this year.
I'm including a couple of pictures of us at the Natural History Museum on University of Michigan's campus. They have a great dinosaur exhibit! We didn't make it up to the 4th floor but they have a planetarium up there that should be fun. We think Hyrum will like it a lot in another few months. And it's free!

Cute! Too bad we couldn't spend New Years together like in years past, that was starting to become a tradition for us huh? :)
I've always been impressed on how dedicated your family has been to Family Home Evening. THat is so awesome. I am trying to really implement that in my life, for my kids too. I had a Family Home Evening the other night that was more geared towards my kids (we had it like I grew up having it) with the song (I played on the piano w. singing), lesson, a game (candyland!) and treats. It was really awesome. I was so excited, because all of our other Family Home Evenings have been mostly geared towards Mark and I because the kids weren't old enough, but now that Ethan understands more, I am going to have to make some of those FHE packets that everyone talks about and I am excited about that. :)
I know, I'm excited for when Hyrum is old enough to participate too! But it will take a lot more creativity and thought beforehand. Usually Jeremy and I just talk about an Ensign article and sing a song. You'll have to pass on all your great ideas in a few months when we start =]
Yah! Hopefully I'll be a lot more experienced by then!
