that's how we celebrated family home evening.
the boys really wanted to go to benihana's for dinner tonight.
so micah told them he'd make them a
benihana dinner, nilsson style.
jaden informed me that the whole point was having it cooked in front of him and he was not disappointed.
micah doned his tall paper hat and went to work.
our food was prepared in front of our eyes on the electric skillet at the dinner table!
it included steak, shrimp and vegetable/egg fried rice--it was delicious!
and the show was spectacular--featuring the erupting onion volcano, the beating fried rice heart and he caught a shrimp in his hat!!
jaden thinks micah should get a job a benihana's.
forget law.
culinary arts, here he comes.
and for a treat, marshmallow snowmen. a variation of these (but not quite as cute. we improvised by dipping a toothpick in chocolate sauce to make the eyes, nose, mouth and buttons).
thanks for all the fun ideas minna!
(she's doing 24 days of christmas with an activity-a-day.
we've also made the snowflakes out of grocery sacks--so they stick to the window easily).
we also enjoyed a game of sequence for kids and reading out of our 24 days of christmas binder, which includes fun stories, scriptures and hymns.
the best part of the evening:
the most thoughtful and grateful prayer spoken by our 6 year old boy expressing his perfect understanding of the true meaning of the season.
we have such a testimony of family home evening.

amen.
thanks for commenting on my blog. I'm back after a huge fight with lice and terrible colds. I hope to see you soon.
Just the reminder that I needed.
Hi Cheryl, Isaac's family is here until the 25th and Becca's until the 29th. Give us a call if you're going to be in Bakersfield and you have a free couple of hours.
Most joyous holiday wishes to you and your growing family!
