Conference weekend

General Conference is a weekend I enjoy for so many reasons. I love hearing from the PROPHET! To make this weekend more special we had five of our grandchildren stay overnight on Saturday evening to spend Sunday morning with us. Sunday morning was dark, rainy and wonderful. When the first 3 girls got up we began making some salads for lunch. They washed their hands first! Then when they were all awake they ran downstairs to find their surprise which was Jordan and Nikole were here. They arrived after they went to sleep.
Conference can be a little too relaxing! Kenzie and her grandfather enjoying a little shut eye. One of them is faking it. Can you tell which one?
This is everyone who was here on Sunday morning. I was there! The evidence is the foot sticking into the picture. Yup. That is my foot. If you look closely you see all the little girls are in skirts. Hilary and Tai made them for this weekend. Rylee and Kailie's skirts match and Kenzie and Lana's match. Brielle's match another cousins' who wasn't in the picture.

Nikole got to hold Danika for a short moment. Two sweet girls. The Aunt and the Baby!

My five little girls. I really do have the cutest little grandchildren. The other four not in the picture are just as loved and wonderful. This is just the easiest, so far to have overnight. They go to sleep easy for me and love each other. Wow. One thing I learned from this weekend. Tell your family often you love them. Tell them again and again. I want it to be known here and now I love them all. I will try to tell them more often in person, too.

What a fun weekend. I bet those girls will have such fond memories of spending time at grandma's house.
I loved the talk also about "love". I told my Finnish friends who were visiting for them to listen closely. The word "love" is not spoken at all in Finland. So sad.

I didn't get to sleep at all during the whole weekend. I need sleep now.

Those skirts turned out adorable. They got way cuter than me for conference weekend. I usually wear my sweats for those days ha ha.
