Conference Weekend

We had  a wonderful Conference weekend at home! It was nice to take some time off from life and listen to the wonderful messages from our Prophet and leaders. The kids have been so excited for Conference as we have planned what fun foods we were going to eat and as they watched me get all of their Conference activities ready.

I started something new this year. I put key words for the kids to listen to on little bucket and then filled them with different treats and snack foods. It was a hit and I think we have a new tradition.

Playing Conference Bingo

Saturday evening we headed up to my parents house to hang out during Priesthood session. When we got there, Ma and Pa had some Easter surprises waiting for the kids and the Easter Bunny had set up an egg hunt in the backyard for them.

They had so much fun hunting for eggs. The Easter Bunny left LOTS for them to find!

Uncle Ben helped Tessa get the eggs high in the tree.

Counting all their loot

Adam had fun over the 2 days of Conference filling up the Apostles chairs when it was their turn to speak to us. Both kids can tell us all 15 names in the right order!

Between sessions on Sunday, Daddy took a siesta and Adam and Tessa read stories. Adam loves to read to Tessa now! He reads everything he can get his hands on.

As the end of Conference drew near, the kids decided to play dress up and we were greeted by this Cougar Pirate. I love watching their imaginations at work.
We love General Conference and are thankful for the messages we heard and the family time we were able to have this weekend.
