Conference

The kids, especially Ali, were very excited to watch conference this year. I think they were actually excited to get to use their conference notebooks again, but I'll take it. They also enjoyed a new game this year: jars filled with different types of candy with a word on the outside (prophet, temple, prayer, etc) and when they heard the word they got to eat the candy. We only did that for one session though, because we must have been inspired about our word choices and didn't want them to get sick!
Ever since they were tiny, Ali and Logan have thought Elder Anderson looked like their daddy, and were excited to see "Daddy" on TV:)
We only asked them to sit with us for one session, but even when we sent them away to watch a movie in the basement or go outside, they kept coming back...unfortunately they had a bit of a hard time being quite when they came back, but I guess I can't blame them for wanting to be both near their parents and the word of the Lord! I am thankful for conference and the technology that allows me to hear the words of the prophets even when they are in Utah and I am in Illinois!

There are definitely great blessings from technology. We are trying to set up family history classes as a contacting tool and the internet must have been invented to make this work possible. Astounding!

I love that first picture...so sweet! And I love that you help make Conference so engaging for your kids. I wish some of those ideas had been around when you were little. Way to go mom!!
