This week we decided to let the kids have their first lemonade stand! We used it to teach them about paying tithing, and then we would let them buy a special toy with the rest of the money they earned. It all began Friday when the kids made their Lemonade Stand sign, then Saturday the kids made double chocolate M&M cookies and snicker doodles to sell. Finally on Sunday we had our FHE about tithing which included the family tradition of the "Money Toss", and Monday we had our Lemonade Stand. The kids had so many customers. They were thrilled!!! And after paying their tithing, we took them to the store to get the toys they wanted; Ethan a new lego set from The Lego Movie, and Claire a Frozen doll and baby stroller. Thank you everyone for coming! It was a very special FHE because of you.

| At our FHE, The "Money Toss"- We throw money on the floor, the kids scramble to get as much as they can. Then we count it and pay tithing from it. A tradition from Justin's Grandpa Hansen. |

| Poor Claire, fell asleep on the ride home from the store...shopping is just such hard work. |
Look at those big beautiful smiles :) Looks like they had fun! Mom and Dad are teaching them so much!
