FHE

Our Family Home Evenings are probably not different than some. But, they are far from ideal. We've had to limit Laney to two opening songs. For the longest time she always wanted to to sing "Making Christmas" from Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas." That's not even a Primary song! We were well pleased last Monday when her first choice was "I Am a Child of God." (When we sing this, I always say "with parents kind and weird" pointing to myself and then Lenore.) So we also permitted the singing of "Once There Was a Snowman." Another of her favorites is "The Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock." The more remarkable thing about our opening songs in FHE is they are always accompanied by an interpretive dance on the part of Laney. It's a good thing the "Solid Gold" song/dance show isn't still on. She would be a huge fan. As I recall Ailsa went in for the interpretive dance thing too.
