Hot Chocolate and Christmas Songs

Here's a new tradition that we started this year that we'd like to do each Christmas:

Hot Chocolate and Christmas Songs Family Night

VIDEO:  Silver Singing

VIDEO:  River Singing

Colt came home and put the groceries by the door as he was getting more groceries out of the truck and didn't want to track mud across the carpet. 

River was our big helper and helped carry the groceries to the kitchen - one thing at a time of course :). Unfortunately, the gallon of milk was too much for her.  Silver  had grabbed a gallon and was struggling to get across the front room.  River said "Silver, look, this is how you do it"  She hoisted the gallon up as high as she could get it, and then we watched in slow-motion it seemed as she went over backwards with the gallon of milk.  It hit the carpet and split the jug open with milk gushing everywhere.  We quickly salvaged 1/2 gallon before it too ended up on the carpet, and grabbed towels to soak up the standing milk. 

I then took out the carpet cleaner and slurped up the remaining milk.

Sounds like a good night for hot chocolate to me! 

We sang songs of Christ's birth and of Santa and the Reindeer.   

 FHE Lesson:  How Repentance is like cleaning up the milk.

Sin/Mistakes - Spilling milk on the carpet. 

Towels:  We do what we can to fix it/clean it up and then Carpet Cleaner:  Christ's atonement fixes it the rest of the way.

Definitely a Tradition Worth Keeping!
