Family Home Evening

Those of you with little ones know that it can be difficult to plan a worthwhile home evening. I love it when we have a new Friend magazine though because they have a little section in there for little people with a story and sometimes an activity. This month had a story about a girl that sent a letter to her grandma. So after reading the story, Elliot colored a picture for each of her grandmas and we put them in an envelope and into the mailbox. She was so excited to do this little project and hopefully will brighten each grandmas' day.

Then of course you have to have FHE treat. And for some reason I was craving a raisin pie. I don't think most people have even heard of a raisin pie, but it was one of my dad's favorites so we had it fairly often growing up. So I called up Mom today to find out how to make it. It actually is very easy, especially if you cheat on the crust, like I did, and buy a premade one. It got a thumbs up from Justin, but Elliot didn't really care for it. One bite took me back to my childhood. And tomorrow morning we can have it for breakfast, just like the clown arounds, right fam?
