A few weeks ago at an evening Relief Society Meeting, the theme was "Celebrating the Family". Included in the evening was a challenge to create more moments to celebrate. Whether it be birthdays, anniversaries or unusual celebrations such as the mathematical 3.14 (pi) day, we were encouraged to try and make family life more memorable and fun by celebrating. So as I considered that challenge, I decided to do something extra for Pioneer Day. Even though it was very simple, it instigated a few laughs. Catherine looked at my "Deseret Cookbook" for pioneer ideas. She suggested Spud nuts. That was perfect because I had some leftover mashed potatoes in the fridge. For dinner we ate, Navajo Tacos, corn on the cob, watermelon, and the Spud nuts, Quite delicious. The entertaining part for the children was that I wore a lovely pioneer bonnet. It made for some good laughs.
In the evening, our ward celebrated with homemade root beer, treats and fireworks at Rotary Park (a small park near our home). Good times!
