Family Home Evening

Last night Matt had a coupon for Panda Express. The little kids have never eaten there, so Matt thought that the kids would really enjoy going into a local restaurant, sitting down and ordering their food. He was right, they loved it. When we showed up our friends were eating their dinner and then 3 other LDS families also arrived during the evening. At one point they brought out the panda for all of our families to get a picture with. After eating out, we went home and played bingo with the kids. We used words that related to the gospel and the kids loved it. We gave them each a container of skittles and then played at least 4-6 times. It was a great evening.


Paige ate most of her skittles and Bailey wanted to get a bingo very bad.


Carter was very excited when he finally got a bingo. This is Carter shouting out BINGO.

By the end, this was all that Paige had left of her skittles. She was on a sugar high!!

Hayden patiently put those skittles on his paper hoping that everything would line up 5 in a row and he would get Bingo too.

Madalyn and I called out the words and Matt played with the kids. The only hard thing was that Matt kept getting BINGO. Eventually, we would just look at each other and Madalyn and I would just continue calling out words waiting for one of the children to win. The kids loved every minute.
