Christmas Eve Talent Show
Here's how our annual Christmas Eve Talent Show went down this year. First up, Clint. He showed us how to make an origami crane, but with a twist. We all had to lose one sense. We were either blindfolded, had oven mitts on our hands, or earphones over our ears. It was pretty funny:
Next up, Kori, who learned how to play the ukelele and accompanied us in singing "Mele Kalikimaka."
My talent was also a song. I made posters for each verse and then led everyone in singing "Must Be Santa."
Padre Man had a great talent. It was called "The Many Faces of Wes." He modeled all of his old glasses, from his very first pair, through all his sunglasses, bifocals, and finally to his new contacts. The only pair he didn't show us was the pair that fell into Bear Lake, oops.
Next was Aunt Michelle who taught us about the history of aprons. It was pretty cute. And ironically, she got an apron for Christmas from a friend.
Grandma Pauline told us the story of how the candy cane was invented and what it symbolizes.
I think this is the first year that Grandpa Mike hasn't played the piano for his talent. Instead, he told us some stories about his Christmases away from home.
Then we had our new Christmas Eve book. This year, in honor of Elder Colton, we chose "The Twelve Days Of Christmas In California." We made posters for each verse and sang the song.

Ceramics Class
Kori had Ceramics 1 during first tri, and we were all impressed by what she could create. I especially love her black tree, pumpkin, and all the bowls she made on the wheel. Can't wait for Ceramics 2!!

New Mission Pics!
It's always a good day when we get mission photos in the mail!
These pics are pretty random. He didn't send any explanations. For example, whose skis are these, and where is he planning on skiing in Southern California?
He did tell us that he bought 600 Christmas lights to decorate the apartment!
Not surprisingly, Colton takes a lot of pictures of cars. So here are a few if any of you are car aficionados as well:
And we'll assume that this is God's Army!
Silly boys. Elder T thinks he'll be getting transferred this week right before Christmas, and he may get made a Senior Comp. He's nervous about that, but he needs to have that responsibility at some point! We are so excited to talk to him on Christmas Day! Yay!
