Conference Weekend

What a beautiful day for Conference! Brittany and her boyfriend Jesse, came from Idaho to go to Conference Sunday afternoon.  So we decided to all get together at our house for the Saturday morning session and then have lunch together as well. The kids were so wound up to meet Jesse and they all thought he was neat.  As soon as they met him they took off for the "duck pond" (which never has ducks on it;) and the rest of us tried to listen to Conference as best we could with little Eli, Ava, and Pip distracting us. It went by so fast and I was a bit late putting the potatoes on but it turned out ok. We had KFC, cheesy potatoes (Lexi style), coleslaw, rolls, raspberry jello salad and draft rootbeer. We also had brownies and ice cream but I think everyone was to full to have dessert;) Brittany and Jesse left after lunch to watch the last session together at mom and dad's. Lexi went back to her apartment to watch it with her roommate who was there by herself. And Mom, Dad, and Rachel stayed and watched the last session with us (as the kids played). It really was a beautiful day and it felt good to enjoy Conference as a family.
