New addition
Aaron Marvin Challis was born in Georgia at 7:09 on Monday morning, December 8, the second son of Paul and Eliza Challis. He weighed 8 pounds 4 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. He joins older brother Peter, who turned two in October. Aaron is Claudia's and my 17th grandchild. Eliza and the baby got to go home the next afternoon.
The two boys (Aaron and Peter) are shown taking a nap together.
State champions
Posted by Crystal Price on December 8. The Joseph she refers to (number 47 in this picture) is Keri's oldest child, one of Lyle's great-grandsons.
My nephew Joseph and his team won the State Title this weekend! It was a very close game that went into double overtime! Although Joseph didn't play in the championship game this year, he did play in many of the Varsity and JV games throughout the season and he's only a sophomore! Great job Joseph ... Keep working hard! He's #47 in the above picture :o)
What Christmas is really about
Lifted from an e-mail from Kay and Karen serving their mission in Peru.
"Even though it is almost summer here, and there are not the usual sights and sounds of Christmas as we know it, we are starting to feel the Christmas spirit. Doing the treat bags for children of a very poor branch and looking forward to the Christmas activity where the children will act out the Christmas story intermingled with carols/hymns sang by the choir (North American couples) and the members, has done something to our hearts.
"Christmas is celebrated in Perú with trees, presents, and a turkey dinner. There are not a lot of decorations in the commercial buildings like home; however, the decorations the various cities put up in the streets are quite elaborate. The dinner is not quite what we usually serve, but I think that is perhaps a good thing. They do not serve all of the side dishes and pies, etc.
"The sisters in our ward have been meeting every Tuesday night for months making things for families who do not have very much. That is what Christmas is really about."
