FHE moment

Yesterday was so beautiful! I could not believe that it could be so cold yet so sunny! The kids played out in the snow and ice all day. Today I was glad for the late opening as the children were tired from such a hard play day yesterday. Last night I tried to do some of the Christmas story for FHE. Autumn just amazed me with her knowledge of the story. She could almost tell it perfectly. But she did have a different ending - Joseph had to go to Bethlehem to get more pepper. This had everyone giggling a bit. So out of the blue. Later I asked her why he had to get pepper and she said, "That's what he needed for his eggs. That is what dad puts on his eggs - duh!" Her imagination never ceases to amaze me. She has watched the movie the Nativity more that a few times. It is one of her favorite Sunday movies. I had a felt nativity to use for telling the story last night. Autumn supplied all the sound affects for when Jesus was born. We were just rolling by then and she did not like that we were laughing. She just said, "What, all ladies make that noise when they have a baby." I am just sorry David missed this FHE. I tried to tell him about it but it just was not the same without Autumn doing the sound affects and story telling. I love these moments in time - everyone getting along and love on everyone's face. Note I said moments - not all FHE's are like this:)
