FUNNIEST FAMILY NIGHT EVER!!

I knew we were in trouble when Camille was preparing the lesson for Family Home Evening today. I was in the kitchen making dinner and she was upstairs preparing the lesson. She came downstairs to announce her lesson was ready. I asked her to share the lesson with me. Since this was the first lesson she has ever prepared on her own, I wanted to make sure it was long enough and appropriately prepared. She said, "No mom. This lesson is going to be a surprise. All I will tell you is that it is about families."

When it was time for her lesson, she began by showing different pictures. She then showed this picture and said, "In our family we shouldn't run away from home like these people are doing." We all started to laugh because we knew this a picture of Joseph resisting Potiphar's wife.
THEN she showed this picture and said, "In our family we shouldn't kill each other." We all were laughing so hard that we all started crying.
If that weren't enough, once we all composed ourselves Camille announces that we are going to do an activity. She held up this paper and said, "If you love our family then sign your name in the YES column. If you do not love our family, then sign your name in the NO column." Luckily, everyone signed in the YES column.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, we have a neighborhood plate that we filled with treats and took to a neighbor.

I can't believe that Camille came up with all of this on her own. It was a great night and we will always remember that we shouldn't kill our family!
