We had a fun Christmas with Shonna and Blake here. I led the ward choir Christmas program on the 22nd. Shonna got here just in time to play the flute with us on our last number, "Silent Night." That evening, Roger and Pam came for a visit.

Monday morning we went to an imaging center for an ultrasound to determine the sex of Shonna and Blake's baby. Ken and I had never been to an ultrasound, and were so pleased that Shonna and Blake scheduled for when they were here so we could be part of it.

| Ready and waiting. |
It's a girl!!!
Caleb and Lily
argued all the way home that night about the name. Caleb wanted one name and Lily another. Shonna and Blake told the story that when
Caleb said, “Hannah” Lily replied. “ No, Nevah!
“ The next day we asked her what they should name the baby. She said, “Hannah.” That little girl knows how to get her brother's goat.
Monday evening was our Keynote concert in the tabernacle..
I thought it went really well.

| Such a cute little Mary! |

| We let Caleb choose what he wanted to be. He chose camel and then he chose this for his costume. He had a "hump," but it disappeared. |

Christmas morning was so fun. The kids were a hoot. Little Caleb was the present deliverer. He would disappear under the tree headfirst, and all you could see were his little feet flailing and pushing him under. He'd then come out and read the tag and take it to the recipient. Then back under he'd dive. Lily tried it too. She got a present. Grandpa asked her who it was to. She "read" the tag, got a delighted look on her face "Merry Kwismus to ME!" Good thing Grandpa's an auditor or Lily would have ended up with an immersible blender!
We read lots of stories. Here Grandpa and Caleb are trying out the new "cuddle couch."
Looks like everyone got BYU shirts! Later in the afternoon we had a delighful google chat with the whole family.
It was a wonderful Christmas!

It sounds like you had a great Christmas! The pictures are so fun - the is nothing like small children to make Christmas fun! I am so happy for Shonna and Blake - another little girl! I don't know if you have heard or not - Conrad and Hailey are expecting a little boy in May! Grand kids are the best!
It does look like a wonderful Christmas. I didn't realize you hadn't been to an ultrasound before. How fun to get to see your first one. The perfect Christmas present!
So fun to visit you all and feel of your Christmas spirit in your home. Great news for Shonna and Blake! What a wonderful Christmas you had with them and their darling kids! I have a pic of the Keynotes singing in your Tabernacle performance and you can get it off my post if I ever get it posted! Beautiful program!
Your cake looks amazing!!
