Chase wanted to start a new tradition this year for conference. Spend the weekend with the family watching conference and "eat until we are sick". So he made his request list for all the appetizers he wanted and I headed off t
o the store. I don't normally ever buy prepared food (can't afford it - and usually don't really like it), but he insisted because he didn't want me to have to work in the kitchen all day but he wanted to eat appetizers all day. Saturday Chase and Saralynn had to go to Alberta and do some ultrasound work and so I watched by myself He got up early and cooked a smokin' breakfast for us - bacon, eggs, sausage, and waffles with whipped cream and homemade chokecherry syrup. Yum!!

Yum!! Then we watched the morning session - which was awesome!! Let me just testify here for a minute of the truthfulness of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! I had been praying for some help an
d guidance on some things that have been bothering me and was hoping for some guidance through conference. Never have I been touched by conference as I was through this one. It seemed as though EVERY single talk, prayer and even song was answering my prayers and giving me the guidance that I had asked for. I felt the spirit so strongly and had my prayers truly answered. I know that heavlenly father answers our prayers, that he knows us and loves each of us personally and that his true church is on the earth today. I am so happy to be a member and feel truly blessed.

After the first session of conference we got all the appetizers ready. What a smorg!! Veggies and dip, fruit and dip, a bread bowl with spinach dip, crackers and meat and cheese, toquitos, bagel bites, chicken wings, dry ribs, some kind of salmon pastry, jalepeno poppers AND home made cream puffs (that was the one thing I did make). We were still full even at bedtime! 
It was a fun tradition to start but I think next spring I will have to premake some more homemade things as they seem so much yummier! It was a great weekend and it was so fun spending time with our family! Great idea Chase!

What a sweet idea. We spend the weekend watching conference at home, but I never thought to make a feast of it. I think we will copy next time.
Mmmmm....your appetizer list is making me hungry! Janis
