Love is an important thing. I am going to talk about our love languages. Each and every one of us has one. Here our family’s love languages:
Dad: Quality time (He enjoys doing FHE, scripture study, and any other thing that has to do with family.)
Mom: Acts of Service (Like doing the dishes, folding blankets, or something else that makes our home cleaner.)
Alia, age 11: gifts AND acts of service (little Webkinz or something that she enjoys.)
Me/Grace, age 8: Written words of affection (Nice cards or words that say “I love you” or “You are a great kid.”)
Ethan, age 7: Gifts (like little things from little parties sort of like party favors.)
Spencer, age 3: Quality time (He likes Mom to lay by him for a hundred minutes).J
So if you like one of these things you have a love language.
Kids can help make their families strong and awesome!

Fun stuff to do with your family (part 1)
They're small, they're big, they're old they're young. They live in a mansion or just a small house. What are these people? What kind are the best? Oh, you really can't tell. They each do their own special things, and none are the same.
What are these things? Families of course!
Here are some fun things to do with your family:
- Take a bike trip to the park or a restaurant.
- Make some cookies, brownies, pie, any dessert together
- Have a movie night. Click here for some fun ideas.
- Plan a scavenger hunt. Have any kid hide the stuff and make the list.
- Make a family poster. Cut stuff out of magazines and glue them onto a big poster board. Make sure they are about your family and what you plan to do this year!
Do these things and watch your family come closer together!

Loving Your Family
Loving your family is SO important. If you didn't love them, your life wouldn't be happy because they do so much for you. My family does a lot to show how much we love each other.
My sister makes nice cards to show her love, my littlest brother gives LOTS of hugs and kisses to us when we are feeling sad. I show my family that I love them by making MANY powerpoints. I am not really much of a card writer, but a powerpoint says almost everything that a powerpoint says.
My other brother likes to draw pictures of dragons, knights, and lots of robots. I am very glad to have a nice family and LOTS and LOTS of love. I LOVE MY FAMILY (and I hope you do too!)

A Holiday Wrap-Up
This time of the year is when everyone is cleaning up their houses. When you have some free time, this recipe can come in handy. You may need some help from an adult, but that is okay. Here is an easy way to finish off the holidays.
Alia's Candy Cane Hot Chocolate Recipe
- Hot Chocolate mixes
- Candy Canes (peppermint)
- Marshmallows (optional)
- Mugs
- Warm or boiling water (This is the part where the adult comes in.)
You start by getting the water ready. If you want boiling water then an adult can supervise it while on the stove top. If you would like warm water, microwave the water in your mugs. The next step is to pour the hot chocolate mix in the water and stir with your candy canes. After it has been stirred, let the hot chocolate sit for a while. While it is sitting, add marshmallows and let it cool off. Finally, your delicious treat is ready. You can keep the candy cane in the drink to make it EXTRA minty. Happy Holidays!

Post contest!
Well, the photo contest didn’t work very well (we only got 3 votes; 4, 6, and 2 won). I’ve decided to do a POST contest instead. You’ll email us your posts at powerofkidslp@gmail.com about how to make your family strong. There isn’t an actual date for the end of the contest, so I’ll just tell you it’s over, when we have a lot of entrees (Don’t worry, I’ll give you a warning when it’s almost time).
