Great day

I liked everything about today. Everything! The best part was that I didn’t have to go to school today, so we got to have a real Family Home Evening tonight. We decided to teach the kids a lesson on Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon, and then we started reading the Book of Mormon as a family. The girls get to color all of the verses we read together. Tonight’s grand total: Two. I wonder how long this is going to take…?

Here are the pictures:
