Family Home Evening

Before we got married we received many words of counsel from the first counselor from the stake and my bishop of course. One of the advices that sticked in our minds was praying together and having Family Home Evening..
What I remember the most from the Family Home Evenings at my parents' home is the little minute book we had to prepare the lessons. I consider it now a family keepsake full of significant memories.
It was in Family Home Evening that my siblings and I learned about the new little member that was going to become part of our family; Mom and dad told us about it sometime on the spring of 1997 and Rodrigo was born on December 4, that same year. It was funny to see our little brother growing and being part of the Family Home Evening, he became the official greeter and welcoming person. He was so cute!
Before my Brother Paco went on his mission he gave the most spiritual lessons those were beautiful days! 
My sister and I even danced once before everyone just for fun!
Family Home Evening was not always bubbling and pink,in couple occasions it was to discipline and warning everyone from the influences of the world!
Now, in our nucleus Max and I have given priority to this blessing of Family Home Evening. We are still working on making it more homey; with that being said I believe that some sweet goodies, music, and a significant lessons will augment homey-ness!
Family Home Evening is a wonderful opportunity to create family traditions and a tradition indeed.
