Family History FHE

We had our combined Family Home Evening at Ken and Jen's on Sunday.  We thought that would be easier than doing it on Monday so we wouldn't have to wait for everyone to get home from work, eat, and then travel and we did have a great turnout!  We were even able to have Kristi's family on the phone with us.  They were trying to get them hooked up with the video too, but not sure if that ever happened or not.  We sang the traditional family night song, Todd gave the opening prayer, Lauren and Sean gave the scripture and then we talked about the importance of family history and keeping records.  Jen had me bring some of my scrapbook pages and talk about that.  I actually had more prepared about actually doing family history research, but I could tell the little kids couldn't take much more, so cut it short.  Sorry Jen! 

Jen had us all send her questions of things we wanted to know about Diane and LaMarr and it was fun to hear the answers.  We didn't get through too many though because their engagement story took a long time.  Good thing LaMarr was patient because it only took Diane about 9 months to finally answer him. I'm going to add the full list of questions and answers once I get them, but some of the fun things we learned were that Diane worked as a car hop at the Frostop for 5 years and LaMarr's high school had over 5000 students and even with that much competition, he was 2nd chair in the band playing the clarinet.
