Welcome to Family Night!

We were a little late on it this week but it was worth the wait. Our kids are so funny!

It started with a big surprise for Dad. We all hid when we saw his car pull up, then when he walked on the room we jumped out and yelled "Welcome to family night!" This was reason enough for a huge tickle and we all (myself included) ended up being thrown on the couch.

Brooklyn was doing a lesson about the story of Abinadi and Alma so we sang "Follow the Prophet" with a quick-composed verse just for that story. It went something like this:

Alma was a prophet in King Noah's wicked rule.
When he heard Abinadi, he thought he was cool.
He followed the prophet and became one.
He taught and baptized in the waters of Mormon.

Then we acted out the story. My favorite part was that when Abinadi (Benson) and Alma (Brooklyn) were preaching to the people, their main message was "Here's a Book of Mormon! Read it!" HAHAHA! Alma did have the sense to follow up with "Do you want to get baptized?"

Last thing: when Nathan wants to read a book, sometimes he'll just say "Mom, will you read me a book," but more often he'll say "Mom, this book isn't readen to me yet." Sometimes he'll even repeat it because he knows its not quite right but he's not sure how to change it. Good thing he's so cute. :)
