General Conference Weekend

It seems general conference is the perfect time for our kids to descend upon us in all their glory...which actually means with hungry tummies wanting their parents to feed them (and feed their families).

In keeping with general conference tradition, we served ebelskivers for Sunday breakfast.

Brooke obediently took her dishes to the sink when she had finished her breakfast.

In between sessions there was lots of playing going on. Caroline made herself a little chair to sit on.

A big car/coaster/cookie cutter/toy train was formed on the family room floor.

 Luckily no one took offense when Eli thought it would be a fun idea to wreck up the long train.

Ben and Haley put together a puzzle and decided to move it to another location when the little people started to arrive.

This news just in: Ben now has a clean-shaven face. Since he had a skin graft on his lower front gum a couple of weeks ago, he got a medical release from shaving until that area healed a bit. I'm glad he's now fully in compliance with the BYU honor code.

Rebecca got other people hooked on her favorite puzzle fill-ins.

Of course we had our usual roast beef, carrots, mashed potatoes and gravy Sunday dinner.

Caroline loved the raspberries.

We topped off the meal with some delicious homemade ice cream. Ben decided to use chocolate milk instead of regular milk and Haley added big chunks of Oreos.

Caroline declared it not as yummy as the plain vanilla kind.

We probably didn't hear as much of conference as we did the day before, but we sure had a great family gathering.
