General Conference went over well at our house. On top of our regular traditions, we added silly bands to the mix: the new "rage" at school for acquiring and trading. For every talk they listened to, and could tell me three things that were discussed, they would receive a silly band. We had some very attentive listeners and note-takers. I'm surprised and impressed at the messages they grasped and the depth of their learning. And thankful for quiet children so I could listen and absorb as well.
