As a family we have a hard time getting together each night to read scriptures. This isn't to say that we don't remember to, it's the doing it that is the hard part. It's great that the girls are so enthusiastic and desirous to read scriptures and hold Family Home Evening.
Tonight we sat down and started the book of Jacob in the Book of Mormon. Anyah is such a great reader! Leiel is doing a great job too of wanting to read and having Mommy or Daddy help. After reading the first chapter we played a family game of Settlers of Catan (the girls love it!). It's a good object lesson for them - especially Anyah who has a very hard time not winning all the time. We're working on that. Lisa ended up winning. Anyah and Leiel were tied for second place. I could see Anyah starting to pout when she discovered she lost but I quickly diverted her attention by having everyone give mom a high-five and that seemed to offer some good levity and she realized that not winning wasn't so bad.
I was very impressed with her and how she handled having the robber placed on her resource hexes - she laughed it off and played along. Leiel also had a great time moving the robber when she rolled a 7.
Following the family game, we ate chocolate pudding - Addie was gobbling it up voraciously! She sure is a cutie!
Well, I have to go to bed to get up early tomorrow!
