For Family Home Evening we did a short lesson on service and started a calendar to remind us, an
idea from the Friend magazine. Then B. did an activity by reading a delightful book called "
Beryl's Box." It's about the friendship of two girls, Penelope who has everything and is bored and Beryl who plays with a box and uses her imagination to do anything she wants.
After reading the story to us, B. suggested that we draw a picture of what we see inside our box, or something that we could do with our box.
This is G.'s picture of what she saw inside her box.
This is C.'s box where a rainbow tree grows out of it and there is a swing and a bird.
J. drew a picture of her favorite characters in the story.
B.s box became a castle.
I found a wonderful photograph of my parent's wedding and was able to get the faces of most of my great grandparents, all my grandparents and both my parents - all on the same day and in the same place. I added more photographs and there was a fun Family Tree activity. Each us made one. Mine is above.

J.s family tree. They are now all posted on our doors for the time being.
