Last night I made spaghetti with homemade bread sticks. For dessert I made a chocolate pie with cream. Before we could have dessert, we had to have our lesson. John gave a wonderful lesson on Nehemiah and how it is important to build spiritual walls around our home to protect us from the world. Millie lead the music and said both the opening and closing the prayers. I love to hear Millie pray. Her prayers are short, sweet, and too the point and VERY unpredictable. I just know that Heavenly Father is smiling whenever he hears the prayers that come from her sweet little mouth. Last night, her closing prayer was this:
Heavenly Father,
bless us this day,
my book,
daddy, mommy and roofie,
my stars,
(her glow in the dark stars that I out on her ceiling earlier that day)
in name,
Jesus Christ,
Amen!
Millie's prayers are getting longer as she peaks around the room with one eye to see what else she can pray for. Sure love her!
After the closing prayer it was time for chocolate pie. I made little pie shells so that it would be easier, and more fun, for Millie to eat. We sat down at the table and after just a few bites, I had chocolate all over my face. This was thanks to John.
Millie started laughing and asked, "What did you do Daddy?" He then smeared chocolate on her face. Loving it, and not quite aware that the point of a "food fight" was to get your neighbor messy, Millie picked up her pie and pushed it into her own face. What a nut! I thought about grabbing the pie away from Millie because we had just bathed her before we had family night and dessert. I know, I know, what mother bathes her child BEFORE they have dessert. I guess I didn't realize that my "third child" was going to start a pie fight. ;) Anyway, she was having too much fun running around smooshing pie onto her face, so I just let her keep going.
Feeling that Ruth was being left out, John quickly made sure to get chocolate all over her face too.
By the end of the night we were covered in chocolate, but we had fun. I love my family! I Can't wait for the next time we have FHE by ourselves. Although, next time we just might skip dessert...
