Last year our stake started the Annual Family Proclamation Week Initiative. Last year we participated and this year we will be doing the same. Basically next week (the week of Thanksgiving) we'll be turning off all electronics between the hours of 5 pm and bedtime and will be focusing on doing fun family activities each night. We have pledged to:
- Devote the hours of 5pm to bedtime exclusively to family time
- To hold family scripture study
- To kneel in family prayer
- To eat dinner together
- To plan and participate in 7 activities we consider engaging, fun, creative, spiritual, and wholesome
- To practice, as best we can, applying the Nine Principles for Successful Families: Faith, Prayer, Repentance, Forgiveness, Respect, Love, Compassion, Work, and Recreation
We invite all who are interested to check this out and become a part of this week!

Great idea. We have always tried not to watch TV and just play after dinner. We are on board and we will be trying this with our family next week. Thanks again for the great idea!
That's a super idea. We should do it too. I'm not promising we will, of course, but we should! :)
