Week 1: Teachings of Jesus Week 2: The Friend magazine Week 3: Scripture Stories Week 4: Teachings of living prophets and apostles
Our family chooses a monthly theme and scripture, then uses the resources above to help us learn and think about that topic. We find that having this routine makes the planning easier.
Importantly, every family member takes turns preparing the lessons, activities and refreshments. Involving everyone is key to successful family nights!

Our Family Night Tradition
We set aside Monday night for an evening at home with the family. Our family home evening includes a family prayer, songs, fun activities, homemade goodies and lessons that focus on values and virtues that will strengthen our family. We believe that happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. So most of our family night lessons are inspired by the teachings of Jesus.
I started this blog to provide my children with a record of our family night experiences. I also hope that this blog can serve as a resource to others who are looking to establish the same tradition in their own families. Many of the lessons and activities described here may be applicable and enjoyable to your family as well. I know that this tradition of holding regular and meaningful family home evenings strengthens my family. And it's a tradition that I believe can strengthen families of any faith. So I'm passing it along to you! Best wishes to you and yours!
Hard to believe we're almost ready to do this again! How the boys have grown in the past year--specially Owen!
