General Conference goody bags

Well, I have been looking forward to this weekend for a while. I love General Conference! For those of you that aren't familiar, every 6 months The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has a 'general conference' where the Prophet and all our church leaders gather in Salt Lake City, UT and speak. It's broadcast worldwide! It is wonderful!!  Here is a link if you want to check it out!!

Anyway, this time I planned ahead and printed out a picture of each of the 12 Apostles and each member of the First Presidency. Then I created a package with either a treat or game or both and taped a picture on each package. Then, when that person got up to speak we could open our surprise and enjoy!! 

This was awesome!! We stayed awake the WHOLE time (which watching from the comforts of your living room can sometimes be challenging to do!) which is great and had so much fun making what I think is now a new family tradition!! 



HERE is where this idea came from along with other printables, like coloring pages for all the Apostles as well. (Which I printed and had attached to every package for our 2 year old!)
