We BEE ready for FHE

For Family Night this week, we chose to focus on Elder Ballard's BEE talk!  

We made little marzipan bees with almond "wings" and placed them on lemon cupcakes (gluten free :)  They were SO yummy!

We invited the Lee Family next door for dinner and FHE.  They are our new neighbors and are an awesome family in our ward!

I found these honey stix at Whole Foods and passed them out to everyone as we began our lesson.  They are little straws filled with natural honey, however, each straw is a different color.  Just as the members of Christ's church are all different, we can all work hard to make our own little "honey" contribution to the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth.  

I suspect we will start to see more "honey bee" decorations, etc. at Deseret Book as Elder Ballard's talk is published.  What a great symbolism for us as members of the church to relate to.  It is the talk my kids remember most about conference.  There is so much work to be done to put Elder Ballard's words into actions . . . so let's start BUZZING!
