The BIG Family Home Evening

The Sollis FHE was a BIG ONE tonight!

We all gathered at Papa Tom and Mama Jan's house and let me tell you, it was a house full!!

31 of the 33 Grands!

A game of UNO--played with their toes...

We gathered in the basement for our family night lesson.

It was my turn so I taught about family history.

We got to hear stories about Papa Tom's dad, Clarence Sollis (everyone called him Sollie), Papa Tom's Grandpa Child, Mama Jan's mom, Ona Moon, and Mama Jan's Grandma Tolman.  We come from some pretty great people.

The lesson ended with the 2014 Sollis family scripture, 2Nephi 25:26, the 2014 Sollis family song, Called to Serve, a heartfelt prayer given by Aunt Tricia, and "Sweet Dreams"...

followed by big family hugs...

We finished off the night watching the little ones play "I'm an old lady with a stick and a staff, don't you dare crack a smile or a laugh..." with Papa Tom as the "old lady".  He had all the kids giggling and laughing as he chased each one around the yard.  It was seriously, the cutest thing ever.

We missed Megan's cup tonight.

Everyone gets a cup with their name on it.

We missed Elder Beck's and Sister Braunersrither's cups too.
