General Conference

General Conference weekend is a great weekend but also a hard weekend. Since I have become a mom I have struggled with how to keep my kids busy and involved so they can get the most out of conference and I can too. Several years ago we were introduced to Conference Bingo and it has been a big hit but doesn't keep their interest the whole time so this year I thought I would add to it. I found some wonderful conference packets for all ages at Sugardoodle. Each girl had one that was age appropriate for them. I also tried to be more organized this year so that things ran more smoothly. Our meals were all planned out and the girls got a special treat and got to eat breakfast in the living while watching conference. Things went a lot better then I expected and I really think they got more out of conference then years past and now they have a packet to look back at in the future. It was fun to watch the girls work through their packets. The packets included one little fact about each of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve. This really interested Madison and Allison. I think in a way in helps them see that they are just like us. Ashley's packet was more to keep her busy. It had things to color and then a few things to color and cut out. She used some very interesting colors when coloring the General Authorities but it will be fun for her to look back on. We had a wonderful weekend listening to our Prophet and Apostles. One of the big highlights of the weekend is that there was a temple announced to be built right here in Meridian. We are so blessed to be getting a temple even closer to us. I can't wait to take advantage of this blessing. The girls can't wait either. Allison was especially excited because she realized that she is old enough to go to the dedication. We are so blessed.
