Family Scripture Study

For the past couple weeks we've (as a family) tried really hard to read the Book of Mormon every night. Every night we have a bed time routine with the boys of reading books, family prayer and lights out! So Ron and I thought it'd be "easy" to just add our scripture study after the fun books are read. Mason had other ideas. EVERY time we get the book of Mormon stories book out Mason yells "NO! I don't want to read that. I want to pick a different book!" And he usually walks out of the room while we read to Noah. (Book of Mormon stories is a simplified version of the Book of Mormon with illustrations for children.)

Tonight Ron had a great idea. We got a couple flashlights, turned the lights out, and held family scripture study. It was the FIRST time Mason sat and really listened to the story and participated! What a fun success!!!! You can't really tell in the picture but the lights are out and both boys have flashlights. Not sure if this will work every night but I am just glad that we were able to have one successful session of family scripture time!
