Update on the Monson party.

Picture wouldn't load earlier... but here it is!

Funny things that happened:

• When we first got there to set up the buffet table, they were taking pictures of Pres. Monson with the decorations. They told him to look and admire everything as they took a picture, and he mockingly went "Oooooh, aaaaah!"
• After they finished the pictures he came and touched each of our shoulders and said "mucho macho" to each of us...... Haha whatever that means!
• When I went to take Elder Perry's dirty plate from him, he did a kind of basketball shuffle thing with the plates to dodge around the person that walked in front of us, haha.
• The kid to the right of Pres. Monson in the picture is in the same ward as Pres. Uchtdorf, Elder Hales and Elder Bednar. When Pres. Monson asked where he was from and he told him that, he asked if they came to church and said to keep them in line :P
• Also, Dieter always comes up to Trent (that's his name) at church to talk to him, and every time without fail claps him on the shoulder and says "you're a good young man." He did the same thing at the luncheon.
• Pres. Monson made us take his cake plate when he went back for seconds "to get rid of the evidence."
• After we took that one too, they decided they needed a picture of him with a piece of cake. As soon as the picture was taken he hurriedly scarfed down a few bites before his daughter, Sis. Dibb, comes over and says "I think you've had enough, Dad." Haha SO cute.
• When I took his plate he grabbed his glass of milk and put his hand over it to make sure I didn't take that too. (We bring him some 2% milk every year. Also, it's very important that it's 2%. He can tell the difference apparently!)
• One of the times he was posing for a picture he said "hurry up, I can't pose all day you know!"
• After everyone was pretty much gone and we were cleaning up, the Monsons walked around the table to look at all the pictures (of him fishing, mostly), and they got back to where they started and he said "where'd my wife go?" Haha he thought he lost her, but they were pushing her wheelchair behind him the whole time!
• On the note of the fishing pictures, he LOVES to fish and his office is full of fishing pictures and whatnot. The flowers and decorations around the buffet table even had a fishing pole added for decoration!
• Apparently he wanted to bring in the actual fish he caught recently, he was really proud of it or something, but they convinced him that bringing a picture of him with the fish would suffice :P

Over all it was just a very fun, funny day! Watching the apostles laugh and joke with each other was great. And Pres. Monson is just hilarious! I love the man. (:
