Sacrifice & Devotion – Joseph Smith Birthday Celebration 2011

Today marks the 206th Birthday of Joseph Smith Jr. As is tradition in the Price fam, we celebrated with Grandma & Grandpa with a fabulous roast/potatoes/orange rolls/scandinavian fruit soup dinner… with gingerbread and lemon sauce for dessert. It really was that fabulous.

Afterwards we went downstairs and enjoyed a nice program by the fire. Abe told the story of the First Vision … with Max placing the flannel board figures up to go along. Then Hannah read in the Bible Dictionary about Joseph’s translation of the King James Bible. The adults shared a quick thought each. Tru repeated after me a short story about Joseph Smith loving the children and wiping their tears and muddy shoes. Max told a rather adventurous story about Joseph Smith stopping the stage coach. Then Hannah and Abe sang their songs from their school program.

It was the best fhe we’ve had in a long time. I don’t think Truman even hit anyone. Maybe? No screaming anyways. One of the best distractions lately for Truman is put him in charge of taking photos. It’s highly entertaining to watch him… and see the photos later.

Thanks for the fun night mom and dad. And thanks for being patient with all of us wascally wabbits.
