FHE.... and cold weather

For FHE last week Brian did the cutest lesson. I would steal it if it hadn't already been done for Xiana. He made a prayer book for her. It starts with a page that says "my prayer is" and then he put a picture of her on the cover. Then he printed out pics of family, friends, the prophet, Jesus, temple, the scriptures, items she's thankful for, etc. Next he cut them out and on some pages wrote, "I thank thee for:" and other pages, "I ask thee for:" He glued the pictures to the appropriate pages and then put "in the name of" (Picture of Jesus) "amen." Next he had each of us write a page or so about memories we have of Xiana's prayers and of our own special experiences with prayer. We read them aloud and they were touching. It was really special to learn more about my parents and their perspective of myself and Xiana. Then Brian glued each of our pages to construction paper to make a book. It was really neat. Xiana will treasure that book as she gets older and gets to see the special messages it contains.
A few weeks ago we went to the park and this is how bundled we had to be....
This week it DUMPED snow... more on that later!
