Families

Our Primary had it's Quarterly Activity Day yesterday. We did a talent show where all the kids performed some sort of talent with their class. It was great! My favorite talent was the Sunbeam class (3-4 year olds) who were all dressed up in costumes and dress-up clothes and sang a variation of "Wheels on the Bus". They sang the normal first verse, then sang:
The dancers on the bus go dance, dance, dance (1 girl in a tutu and heels)
The princesses on the bus go spin, spin, spin (3 girls in frou frou)
The super heroes on the bus go fly, fly, fly (3 boys as Batman, Spiderman, and Buzz Lightyear and 1 too-shy boy off stage as a Storm Trooper)
The knight and dragon on the bus are strong, strong, strong (2 boys in knight and dragon)
So cute!! Kudos to Marie for thinking up such a cute idea for the kids!

As a presidency we were informed by one of our teachers that we should perform a talent as well. She was right! So we dressed up as a family (I was the baby - my kids loved my "whale spout" ponytail) and sang a song. I wrote it up to the tune of "Smiles" - you know, "If you chance to meet a frown, do not let it stay. Quickly turn it upside down and smile that frown away!"

Because the theme in Primary this year is My Eternal Family, I wrote these lyrics:

"We came to earth from noble birth, to a family, Where we learn all of us have responsibilities.

In our church and in our home, we can learn what's true. Jesus Christ has paved the way and shown us what to do.

If we are baptized and good, trying hard each day, Listening to prophets who can teach us all the way.

Strengthening our fam'lies by love and service too. Going to the temple is what God wants us to do.

Fam'lies can be eternal. This we known is true. And it's what we want for each and ev'ry one of you!"
