FHE with the Carters!

We had the Carter family over for FHE tonight. It was a BLAST! Mitchell read the story of Captain Moroni and the Title of Liberty from the illustrated Book of Mormon series (read it HERE) and then I cut an old receiving blanket in half for each of the kids to paint their own Title of Liberty. Liz: you're genius is rubbing off on me! Derek loves playing with Kennady; it was so cute to see them running around the apartment having a grand old time. They took turns riding on the Thomas the Train sit-and-ride: one would push while the other rode. It was fine when Derek pushed Kennady, but the other way around was hilarious! Kennady isn't quite strong enough to push Derek, so he pushed himself with his legs while Kennady hung on to the handle and was jerked forward with each push. She thought it was hilarious and her laughing made Derek laugh so we were all laughing at the cuteness. What a great evening!

 Kennady took some cues from Derek, but painted a pretty little masterpiece of her own

 This kid loves to paint!

 Thank heaven they stayed clean!

We made pumpkin shaped rice krispies for dessert and let the kids decorate them. Well, I ended up decorating them, but it was fun to watch them get filthy from the black icing I used for the eyes. In the end, they were more interested in eating the unformed rice krispies out of the bowl - which made for these cute pictures!

Here, let me help you with that...

 Scraping the bowl. Doesn't Kennady have gorgeous eyes?!

 Caught ya!
