We realized recently that our kids never see us read the scriptures. We do read them, but both of us read them on our tablets. I can imagine if I were my kids, I would probably think that my parents were just playing on their tablets and not doing anything productive. I think years back when everyone read the hardcopy scripture books, that sort of visualization provided some sort of foundation. Kids see people reading these fancy books and then they think scriptures are important. That's missing with iPads, though!
So we really just wanted to help the kids understand more about what scriptures are, and that some people read them on fancy books and some people read them on their electronic devices.
We had to go find our hard copies and dust them off and then we showed them to our kids.

It was a fun little night and I think it was important for our family.
