Family home evening of a flop or not?

Ok, so family home evening is new for our family.So far they have been going pretty well.Till this week!So, the whole day was just rotten for me. Anna was having a clothing issue,(she's o.c.d about the way clothing touches her skin) Madison (A.K.A the firecracker)was telling me that she wanted to just lay around and watch t.v.(this child worries me)and Poor Gabbie was having anxiety about when we were going to start family home evening.(IT was Gabbie's time to share the lesson)She had everything prepared and was waiting(I know this because she told us all about every two mins.)So, we finally come together im alittle tired from the long day,Troys worried if he can make it throught this in time, he has to go to class. Madison wants to watch t.v and Annna is just mad. So gabbie starts and it was at first a disaster.We were making scrpiture cookies.Madison wants to just make the cookies then look up scripture, so needless to say, we do finish and it turns out to be sort of fun and i felt better by the end. I felt it was not our most spirit filled eveing like some in the past.On the other hand, I took time to reflect on the fact that our family has grown so much spritually that i was proud.Gabbie is very strong about how she feels about our church.And the twins ask Troy daily about wen he will be baptized.They also say that they want to be baptized so we can be together forever.I have to say I feel even more blessed that even in the evenings scattered family home evening we still land up coming together to remember how blessed we all are to have each other.
