We had such an amazing night all together as one happy family! :) Nick has been working so much these past few months and some days not making it home till pretty late. Thankfully he got the last couple days off so we've gotten some family time all together. Before dinner we played a game called candy land. Nick's dad sent the boys two games for Christmas one called Candy Land and the other Hi Ho Cherry-O. A few days ago Nick played Hi HO Cherry-O with the boys and they really enjoyed it. So tonight I really wanted to play the other game all together. We set the video camera on our shelve so we could record it. At first the boys were being suborn, they kept grabbing the gender bread men off the board. We kept explaining that they needed to leave the pieces in there places but they were determined to keep grabbing them. So I stopped video taping and almost put the game away because they didn't want to listen. But I got an idea to give them a fruit snack every time they had a turn and it worked!!!!!!!! They were still being boys of course but over all they did a good job and we all had fun. The game is actually very educational for the boys teaching them numbers, counting, and colors. Ashton won but Brody was only a couple spaces behind him. We rewarded them boy with the rest of the fruit snacks and some kisses. Then we took a bunch a pictures and we all made funny faces for the camera.
At dinner time we all sat together as a family which doesn't happen to often with daddy working late. It was really nice we all enjoyed are time together. For the boys first time we prayed at the dinner table, even held hands. The boys were so cute repeating the prayer and closing their eyes. We really want to start having more family time and eating all together. I know the boys like us sitting at the table with them, so we are gonna try really hard to have that time with them every night.
