Family dinner



Funniest thing happened last night...our family was sitting around the table eating dinner, when Boomer just announced that he wished he could shake the prophet's hand. Our oldest son, Champ, explained to him that that would mean he'd have to shake all 85 of them. I told champ that there were not 85 prophets. Then he asked who the quorum of the seventies were and why were there not exactly 70 men in each quorum. Kev started explaining what it meant, and Champ was just not getting it. Finally Kev asked, "What happens when you turn 12?" Kev told him, "You get the aaronic priesthood, and are a deacon, next you will be a teacher and then a priest." Then he paused, Boomer picked up right where he left off, and very matter- of-factly said, "Next you are a banker...." That's all it took, we all busted up laughing.

Jenn! i LOVE your blog! it kinda got me teary reading parts of it. silly me, but its been an uphill journey getting to know you Holt sisters better, especially because you're all so busy with your families. I've longed to be able to feel like "real" sisters with all of you and after reading your thoughts and feelings i feel like i've been privileged to a "sister" moment. thank you <3
