June 21st was a busy day. Not only was it Father's Day, but it was the Trujillo temple dedication as well. Since the rest of us get up long before Matt, we made Daddy some pancakes and eggs for breakfast. Then we gave Daddy a card and some cookies.
We made him a card. With all of our stickers, we had no monsters.
Fortunately, these little aliens were happy to step in.
I saw the idea on Pinterest, only they used monster trail mix.
We improved it by making monster cookies instead.
Thanks to Kari for sending me the recipe!
Henlie colored the back of the card, too. :)
We had a few more boxes of cookies than just that one.
It made a lot.
The dedication was wonderful. President Uchtdorf and Elder Bednar gave their talks in English and had a translator, so I could understand what was going on. For our session, Brother Waddell (1st counselor in the area presidency and in our ward) offered the dedicatory prayer, so that was neat.
Apparently, even though Elders Uchtdorf and Bednar both spoke in (I'm guessing) all of the sessions, they didn't offer the same talks. Rob picked us up to take us back to their house and we compared notes. I thought that was neat :) Elder Bednar's talk stuck with me. His big thing was we are supposed to do work for OUR dead, not just THE dead. It's important for us to find our ancestors and do the work for our family members where possible.
We stayed at the McMillens' house for dinner. We had yummy tacos and we shared our excess of monster cookies and shared our Nutella brownies for dessert. It was super fun to hang out and chat and eat yummy food.
We got home and called my dad to chat and wish him a happy Father's Day. Matt tried calling his dad, but they were having too much fun on their vacation in St. George, I guess. We sent him a WhatsApp though.
It was a great way to spend our day. :)
