Sunday Celebration

Afton woke me up this morning by asking if we could go swimming. I reminded her it was Sunday, and we did special family things, church, games and more but not swimming. She was especially bummed that Patrick was working so on the drive home from church, I drummed up the idea of having a Sunday Celebration. Basically, we made the things that our family really likes to do on Sundays into a party. We:

1. Went on a walk and talked about our favorites creations that Heavenly Father and Jesus have given us.
2. Ate chocolate chip cookies (courtesy of the front desk of our hotel). We started the chocolate chip cookie Sunday tradition about a year ago.
3. Called a few family members to talk.
4. Drew pictures for Patrick to take to work.


I try to be conscience about making the Sabbath Day a day to look forward to because of the things we DO do instead of the things we don't. This was a fun way to look at our special day. I think this will be a new tradition to bring back every few weeks.
