Columbus Day

Since we just had the Missionaries for dinner last Wednesday, we hadn't planned on seeing them again so soon, but, the Dinner Coordinator was earnestly asking :) for meals this week, so Jared signed us up for Monday. We had a nice dinner. While we were eating Hannah looked up at Elder Hunt and said, "I want to be a Missionary just like you" and later she explained to the Elders how important it was to eat their green beans, so their bodies would grow healthy and strong. Oh, I was proud! :) After dinner was our Columbus Day Pageant for Family Home Evening. Ben, I have to say, didn't really grasp the seriousness of his role as the European discoverer of our continent. He kept his hat on for only a few seconds...


...and, he refused to get into his little Santa Maria (the laundry basket) and sail to meet Hannie, our American Indian, in the new world. Hannah, however, loved the little ship, and being the budding Home Maker that she is set about putting in a pillow and a blanket to make the voyage cozy and comfy for everyone.

That pic of Ben with hat and grin is too funny for words. He just seems so pleased with himself. I would sail away with Hannie anyday!
