What They Wore-Primary Program

 Once a year in October, all the children of our church group, called primary, do a singing/speaking program for the enjoyment of the rest of the church members. Typically various children have speaking parts that they usually memorize and then recite for the audience's delight even little tiny three years olds have memorized parts. It is a special sunday program that Nona, Pa, and Ashlee made the drive in to see it.  

Before church McCoy and Declan each played a hymn a couple times as prelude, McCoy played "Love One Another" and Declan played "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam."  They both did a great job.  Our primary program theme was "Families Can Be Together Forever."  Somedays the thought of your immediate family being together forever might make you pull your hair out especially after a long car ride say, but really it is a great comfort that if we do our part remaining faithful and follow the plan laid out by the Savior we can be married for time and all eternity and our children can be sealed (promised) to us so that even death won't separate us.  I just love that my darling children can be mine forever. It was a very touching program and the boys did a great job reciting their parts. Zany was very upset that she was to young to be in it and when Eddy was taking her out she juked him and made a beeline for the stand where all the kids were sitting; he just caught her as her foot lifted to take the first step to the podium.

Some say Ashlee and I look just like sisters what do you think?

Ashlee and I both have a fondness for fun high heels, in fact we both ordered these cherry heels from amazon (Naughty Monkey) so she had to call me and say she was wearing them and so I couldn't. Instead I wore my blue suede shoes.

"What, I am not going to Nursery and instead have to go to a family gathering?"  

Yes, we all gathered for a luncheon of Green Chile Cheese Sandwiches or Egg Salad (add a bit of horseradish it makes it so tasty) on croissant or italian bread, chips. salad, carrots, yogurt pretzels, and chocolates.  Sometimes it is hard to think of a meal that will please the vegetarian (Ashlee) and the carnivoran (Pa) but I think I managed it. It was a lovely day!
