We finished reading the Book Mormon as a family!
It took us a long time, but we have been consistent and I am so proud of these kids for making the effort to read together before school each morning- especially my teenagers, who really make or brake this for us, since they have to be ready before we read. Abe doesn't complain and he comes, and I am really grateful to him for being willing to do this each morning.
We celebrated by heading downtown for family night and dinner.
Sadie has a restoration class at BYU and she wanted to take us to the church history museum to see the new Joseph Smith's first vision movie, so we made it a night.
(re-enacting her 12th b-day, where she took the same picture)
Dinner at the Lion House.
We told the kids all about how I gave tours of the Beehive house when I was Sadie's age- my favorite moment will always be when I was giving a tour and I said, "Brigham Young believed in the three 8's- work for 8 hours, sleep for 8 hours and eat for 8 hours." Haha! No one caught my mistake except for me and I started to laugh.
We also told them about that Dave and I came here for lunch right after we got married....and about the time I dropped baby Sadie on her head on the cement floor:/
I absolutely love this family of mine.
We are not perfect, but we are working hard and I really hope and have faith in the promises that the prophets have said will come from reading the Book of Mormon each day.
I want them SO MUCH for my peeps.
I am trying to keep my end of the deal.
