Don’t we all just love and adore Nie? (If you don’t know what I am talking about, google Nie Nie—it will be worth your time.) And I will be the first to admit that she has influenced me—I hope for good. Reading her blog has never once made me feel guilty, but it always inspires me to be better—to CREATE things in my home and family. So I decided to try my version of her little dinner celebration with crowns. In honor of this little man……
(Yup, he’s SMILING now!)
And we had a special theme:
Be Thou an Example—which happens to be the YM and YW theme for the year (1Timothy 4:12)
I thought it was very appropriate to celebrate four older siblings!
My sweet mom helped with some of the decor and all of the food—we go over to her house for FHE about once a month anyway and she always feeds us dinner.
The princesses and prince were all crowned and told what great examples they are and will be.
Then we ate.
Thanks for dinner Mom!
And everyone took a turn sharing what they felt it meant to be an example of whatever virtue was decorating their place setting—except Ella, she just ate.
And Conner looked on in wonder. And had no idea that we all were so excited to be examples for him.
It was a really nice FHE. Thanks Nie Nie.
