Brian and I think its great to spend time with our family. Even though we have scheduled time away from our kids for work or church service, we make a point to play games with the kids, have dinner together, sing, read together, and be around our fabulous little ones.
Getting ready for dinner involves the kids helping cook, set the table, and clean up. It is a lot of work to get them to help, but I think it is worthwhile for all of us. Last night we had the missionaries for dinner and Celia stirred the taco meat and felt like she cooked the whole meal it was cute. She helps me cook a lot with her tutors, at 5pm they ask if Celia can help with cooking anything we we all hang out in the kitchen together. Joseph and Emmy alternate who makes the salad and the drink a lot, and who sets the table. Spencer swings quite a bit, but often helps with cooking too.
Celia loves her Daddy and demands to play Plants vs. zombies on his computer. She thought his engineering hat was just her size.:) Not everyone is thrilled every time, but I think doing what we can when we can to teach our children the importance of family togetherness and the gospel is worthwhile and a fulfilling experience.
