Conference Brunch and Dinner

A couple of weeks ago we had General Conference. Marshall and I love the fact that we get to have church at home, stay in our pj's all day and eat delicious food all of the inspiring messages we receive from the leaders of our church. It is our little family tradition to make German Pancakes for the Sunday morning sesh of conference. We love these babies.


We had an equally tasty dinner. French dip, sweet potato fries and salad.
