My kids are at such a great age for conference. They can sit still for long periods of time- and actually understand a lot of what is being said. Before the first session on Saturday, we printed out an awesome packet for them to work on. It was full of word searches, bingo, crossword puzzles, coloring, places to write who spoke/what they spoke about, and blank ties- so that they could color it to match who was speaking. They loved it! As I was looking through what they had done- I came across this coloring page of Elle's. At first glance I just thought it was really bad. I also thought how unfortunate it was that she had such little talent with a crayon. As I looked closer I noticed the smiles that she had drawn over the prophets mouths. I asked her why, and she said "They spend so much time with Jesus- that I think they should look happier." Then she told me that she thinks in Heaven they will have hair- so she drew that on too. (can you tell she's the child of a man with a thinning hair complex?) So as I looked at the pictures again- I thought a little less about how my daughter would probably not be featured in an art gallery, and more about the insight and understanding of a child.

That is SO FUNNY! I can totally see her saying those things, too!:) So funny! I agree with you, too, on President Monson. I felt the spirit so strong when he was sustained...amazing isn't it? Such awesome words all weekend! I'm so grateful for conference!
Elle is hilarious! Leave it to the child to bring out what most of us forget. I love the drawings!!
Wow! What great insight from Elle! She must have an amazing Mom who teaches her all the right things!
