April Conference 2012

We love conference at our house.  I have really let go of the "conference is for me, so be quite children" mentality.  We try to do everything we can to help our kids to love to watch conference.  It is basically a two day circus, but it is worth it.
We did our Conference Posters for each session.  I got temple, scripture, and Jesus stickers to put up each time a speaker would say anything about temples, scriptures, and Jesus.  Anna really like listening for these words.

Devin was good enough to entertain Nicholas by spinning him all around.

The kids did a lot of wandering around.

Nicholas liked playing with the cute boy in the mirror.

I'll be honest, the sessions that I got the most out of were the ones in the afternoon when Nicholas was sleeping.
Anna loved being able to do all sorts of fun activities that we couldn't do while Nicholas was awake.

The funniest thing was somehow Devin's handcuffs ended up down with us.  Anna played with the handcuffs through quite a bit of the last session.

We enjoyed Priesthood Pie with my family as part of conference.  The "Pie" part doesn't really happen anymore.  It is more of a make something yummy for your husband.  I made a chocolate pudding cake for Devin.  It was a hit and super easy.  This was what was left after the first night.

It didn't take long for Devin and the kids to polish it off.

Nicholas loved every bite.  We finally caught on tape Nicholas making funny noises with this fingers.  He usually does this at the end of a meal when he is done and ready to get down.

Conference was wonderful.   Elder Holland's talk was my favorite.  I have been enjoying watching Conference without my children as I run each day.  It is so great!!!  The Young Women meeting was AMAZING too!
