Family Night #1: A Change in Attitude

So, we have been incorporating family nights into our Christmas celebration for 3 or 4 years now.  Historically, Grace (age 8) has loved them.  Sam (age 7) has enjoyed the activities that we do together at the end of family night. However, at best, I would say that he tolerated the lesson part of family night (which I think is probably fairly typical of a little boy).

I am happy to say that we saw a change in him last night when we did our first family night of the 2012 Christmas season.  He was quite enthusiastic about the whole thing.  He read scripture, answered questions and offered up all sorts of additional information that was related to our discussion.  It was so fun and rewarding to see his growth in this area, and I am excited to see how the rest of the family nights go this year.
