Come Follow Me

This year in church we've been using the new "Come Follow Me" curriculum, and it's been a really fun experience at our house.  I am enjoying the personal study, but mostly I really enjoy our weekly FHE's with Ivy.  She is really into role-playing so pretty much any stories or lessons have been acted out at our house. 

Her favorite story to act out is the Zacharius and the angel story.  She sometimes gets it all jumbled up, but it is hilarious to hear her tell Zacharius what's up.  2-year-olds are so awesome.

We've also had a lot of fun just wandering around our house "calling" apostles and saying, "Come Follow Me."  Haha it's the little things!  I feel a tad sacrilegious sometimes while we're acting things out and mixing them up, but I guess she's learning!  Like the other day Ivy had her toy penguin in the bath and was "baptizing" it.   I don't know if I'm supposed to stop these sorts of things??  At least I know she remembers the lessons!

A tradition we started was to light a candle at our house during our lessons and turn out most of the lights because it keeps everyone (read: Ivy) calm and interested in what we're saying.  I'm not sure that we'll keep it up after daylight savings, but I have enjoyed our candle-lit family time together. :)
