As usual, we looked forward to General Conference for weeks, and it came and was over too quickly. I tried something new with the girls this time. I gathered gift bags that we had laying around and for each member of the 1st Presidency and all the Apostles, I made an activity bag for them. So each time one of them came up to speak, they got to open a new bag and do the activity inside. They were just things like puzzles, coloring, play-doh, or a little treat. A lot of stuff I already had here at home, the rest I got at the Dollar Store. It was actually pretty fun. The girls had a blast trying to match the bag with the speaker, and hopefully it helped them learn the names of the Apostles a little better.
David and I are now in the process of watching all the talks again in the evening, since with 3 kids you can only hear/comprehend so much. This is becoming a tradition every Conference, though we have yet to actually make it through all the sessions. We're in the process of cancelling our cable, so our goal is to watch them all on the DVR this time before our cable is gone.
