Family Fun & General Conference

I love my family - we definitely know how to have a good time and have always been very easily entertained. Growing up, my siblings and I loved to do all sorts of random things together. For instance, when we were little we used to always make a newspaper during General Conference - we even had a typewriter that we used (and we thought it was the coolest thing ever!). We used to put on these big productions for my parents - we'd put on plays, we'd make a "restaurant" in our room and dress up as waiters, we'd make "dummies" with our stuffed animals and put them all over the house for when my parents got home. Well, I guess some things never change - we are still nerdy as ever and love to do random things, like make life-size board games!

On Friday night we hung out with my siblings while my parents were at their traditional Gibbons family "adult" get-together. A couple of years ago we were bored and randomly decided to make a life-size Monopoly game:


Last year it was Settlers of Catan (made out of foam - we cleaned out the dollar store's foam supply):


This year? Connect 4! It was pretty awesome.





We love General Conference! We had such a wonderful weekend listening to the Prophet and Apostles speak and spending time with family. There were lots of wonderful talks, some of our favorites were President Uchtdorf, Elder Bednar and Elder Oaks. And, as always, the music was beautiful!


Here are some pictures from General Conference weekend with my family:

Liz and James wore matching outfits!

Another one of our silly antics - making a family out of balloons. The "baby" in the green outfit was pretty creepy...
