For a recent Family Home Evening, we had a good time sharing with the kids what their names mean. We've done this before and have learned some things that we didn't know before, like that Tessa in Greek means "fourth born", which is pretty interesting considering Tessa is our fourth child. The kids really enjoy remembering the meaning behind each other's names, most especially their own!
We finished the evening with treats as usual, this time sugar cookies cut out in the shapes of our initials. That made for a lot of letters, but we couldn't leave anyone out!

Adam had the idea to arrange the cookies in a fun way--his initials and mine followed by each of the kids'.
