General Conference

I just thought I would post some pictures of what life is like at our house during General Conference. We don't have cable TV, but we get it really well on the internet. So gone are the days of dressing up and sitting at the Stake Center for 8 hours on Conference weekend (and 10 hours for the big boys and men!).

We have a tradition of playing with Legos during conference. Cooper even played with them this time!
Ummm, apparently Dix has really embraced the "fashion" of the great NW. Which is--anything goes.
Carolyn worked on her knitting.
Hayden dozed off and Mark proceeded to annoy him in true Abersold fashion. He gave him a wet willy, tied his shoelaces to the couch, and we were beginning to do the old shaving cream/feather trick when he woke up. That's what you get for sleeping during conference!
I don't know who took this, and I know he wasn't really asleep. But Porter's lizard, Razor joined us for the afternoon session. It was really quiet for the whole session and I realized later that it was because Turner had figured out how to turn on the Wii all by himself. I guess we'll just be grateful for the quiet.

Porter is a newly ordained Deacon, so he went with the menfolk to the Priesthood session. It was fun for me to see my brothers (and in-law), my hubby and my sons all dressed up in the finest, heading off for the session (to be followed by a yummy dinner!).

Those of us left at home (the women and the children) had a delicious dinner of chili dogs and then we made some candy with the molds that I bought this week. We had a good time.
