Conference Weekend

Growing up general conference was always a special weekend for me. The things I learned and heard at conference shaped my spiritual growth, feelings and testimony. We often lived in Europe where we had to drive further to watch conference and bring a picnic and stay all day long. We wouldn't get all of the sessions due to the time difference and I always remember hoping and praying we would get to hear Neal A. Maxwell and other favorites in the sessions that we actually got to listen to live. As a result I have very fond memories of family time at conference.

I wanted to start some family traditions for our little family to create happy memories of conference weekend for my children. I made a three ring binder with activities for Rebecca from a website called sugardoodle.net. She enjoyed her special binder and it helped her focus more than she has in the past.
Sunday morning I made a special breakfast "Creme Brule French Toast" that Rebecca and I had prepared the night before while daddy was at his meeting. (Thanks Katie for the recipe).
In between sessions we snacked on hummus, chips, guacamole and other yummy light things.
It was a happy day and it felt special. I loved the talks I heard and hope to be able to implement the things I learned.

Playing outside in between sessions-isn't having a big sister fun?

Joseph always folds his arms for prayers lately. He used to fold his hands but then he discovered he could fold his arms (just barely) and is very proud of that fact.

Does anyone else have fun conference traditions to tell me about? Memories from growing up or things you're doing with your own family? Let me know-I'd love to hear.
