At our home, Family Home Evening is a much anticipated event. For the past few weeks Boston has been giving his own lesson's out of the friend. I have been AMAZED at what great lessons he gives. He has taught us about keeping the commandments, about Jesus living again, and about Angels being here are earth. Tonight I finally decided to write down his lesson. He sits with his Friend magazine open to a specific page and then says;
"Elder Ballard told us to be nice, and to take turns making snow angels, and that Christmas is a special day, and we get to have Hot Cocoa. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen."
Another highlight of family night tonight was when Jeremy asked Boston why we have Christmas and he replied "Because Jesus wants us to decorate the earth."
After explaining that it was to celebrate Christ's birth, Jeremy asked him what gift he would like to give Jesus. Boston said "A present. A special present. Like M&M's."
Oh I am so stinkin' lucky to be this kids Mom. He amazes me.
P.S. Guess what Kristen?? We got out my percussion bells tonight and played Christmas Carols!! Brought back memories.

Ahhhh! That's awesome!!!! I wonder if I still even know how to play? Reading this made me miss you so much. Remember how much fun we used to have in band? Remember those practice sessions in the piano room? No wonder I was never any good. You were the best band buddy EVER! My bells are in my closet here--I refused to leave them home. I like to think that someday I'll play again. Especially that 3 ships song we did. Man, if only I'd thought to have my parents record it! I seriously wish I had that. Maybe I'll add a marimba to my wedding registry. Boston is seriously, such a stud! You are such a great mom, Camille! Your kids do all these fun things, go to all these fun places, know all about the church (I still can't tell you who's in the current 12) and then you play bells for them! Someday, I'm going to call you for parenting tips!
That's so sweet and so precious. I'm glad you wrote it down! You ARE lucky!
Oh my goodness what a sweet and smart boy! I totally agree with him, We need to decorate the earth. SO CUTE!
