Family Home Evening...Treat

Since our boys have soccer practice on Monday night we have been holding our Family Home Evenings on Sunday for a while now. We really like it being that we are so far from family that we really have long Sundays once we get home from church. No one to visit, and just the 6 of us to try and enjoy the Sabbath day. Occasionally we'll have people over for dinner or we'll go for a long walk, but Family Home Evening is always the highlight of our evening. And the child with treat is "the chosen one'. A lot of thought goes into the treat..."what can we make that mom will let us eat a ton of and even if we didn't eat our dinner?" Some of our favorites are sweetbread, dump cake, rice pudding, and crepes. But tonight Evan was eager to use the cookie cutters that he got from his Primary teacher (??) today at church. Well he didn't want sugar cookies and he really wanted brownies, so he asked if I could make brownies that we could cut out in his shapes. Why not?? And here's how it went:




We added the ice cream and it was a complete success. Everyone was pleased and no one passed on the treat. Thanks Evan for the fun and new way for brownies....hope you remember the lesson on "acting and not being acted upon" (2 Nephi 2:14) too.
