Our whole family has been loving watching a YouTuber named who does squishy makeovers so we decided to try our own! We found a bunch of not so cute squishies at the dollar store and attempted to make them better. I thought we did pretty good for our first time! I only did one and decorated it with my favorite Moriah Elizabeth characters but McKenna did a lot! And Brooklyn did a few as well. It was fun to watch them be so creative.
Kaylee did an FHE lesson that I thought was so clever and really stuck with us. She had us all pick quotes from General Conference that meant a lot to us or stuck out as memorable sayings and then we wrote them on paper and cut them out in a creative way that symbolized what the quote was about. We put them on our wall and they are there to remind us constantly about what the prophets have taught us and keep them fresh in our minds. I thought it was such a great idea and we had a lot of fun trying to come up with ways to cut the paper.
We wanted to go sledding but there wasn't much snow at all this winter. When we finally did get a dusting, it was freezing cold and we knew we wouldn't be out for long so we just went to our trusty spot by the dollar store instead of a huge hill. We always make it fun wherever we are!
Richard is always involved in our stake kickoff for the new youth theme and I think they do a good job in presenting the spiritual aspect but also having a fun activity for the kids to come to. This year, Richard was in charge of the devotional part at the beginning. He did a great job embarrassing his daughter's by trying to bring in teen slang and having the kids do an activity where they tried to mirror each other with and without having their hands connected (to try to show that even though you can follow either way, it is much easier when you are closely connected, just like following the Savior).
Brooklyn has been so obsessed with Harry Potter and has checked out every single book the library has to offer. She has gotten a few HP cookbooks and wanted to try out some ideas so we made a Harry Potter dinner with snake breadsticks, a Fluffy creation of baked potatoes and Hogwart letter quesadillas. She wanted to go full out and even had a Harry Potter sandwich for lunch!
She also asked Kristi to print out vinyl letters that say Lumos and Nox for her light switch and wants to eventually turn her whole room in to Harry Potter.
