Sundays

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. It is so relaxing and I love that we get to focus on our family. Lately I have felt that we have lost the spirit in our house with some of Sunday activities. Last Sunday I decided that changes needed to be made so we implemented them this week. The girls usually like to watch TV all day but I felt there were better things they could be doing with their Sundays so there was no TV today. It was a hard adjustment for them at first but I had a few projects that I needed to get done this Christmas season so we worked on them together. The girls and I all did our own little part and we got some ornaments made for Kevin's home teaching families and my visiting teaching sisters. As a reward for their willingness to be apart of this new change in our house we decorated a gingerbread house this evening. The girls were so excited because we haven't done one in many years and this was the first time to do it just with our family. Ashley has never done one so she was especially excited. Next year if we do this, there is one thing that I will do differently. I will get the girls each their own house. They worked really well together but I would love to see how each of them would do it differently.

I really enjoyed this Sunday. It will take some getting used to for the girls but I really think that we will be blessed for the changes. I also think that it will help Kevin with his new calling. Last week Kevin was set apart as the new Elders Quorum President in our ward. Anyone who knows Kevin's schedule would wonder how he could add something new to his hectic schedule but we know that through his service we will be blessed. Kevin is the hardest working man that I know and he is the best father and husband so I have no doubt he will do his best at everything and be able to keep us number one.
