Family Home Evening—Birds

Our theme for family home evening this week was: birds. Our lesson was from a talk by Milton R Hunter. We learned about quail and how the quail babies show great devotion and obedience to their parents. They have great faith in their parents’ leadership. We learned that it is important for us to be obedient to both our earthly parents and our heavenly parents just like the quail babies. We need to follow the council of our parents, and be obedient. After our lesson, we made curly birds out of paper (Elle found this to be a very intriguing and fun project; Hudson not so much). And lastly, we had bird cupcakes for dessert (Hudson perked right up when I brought out the food—he mutilated it). All in all, family home evening turned out great.

What a good lesson idea...I think I may have to use it too! Thanks for the idea! Looks like you guys have been having a good summer. I was just thinking today that I wanted to take the kids ice skating, then realized that probably wouldn't be a good idea for me right now...I'll have to wait a couple weeks until after this baby is born!
