Chrtistmas break in a nutshell

hello blogging world!  Welcome back to the Graham Cracker house.

As the new year begins I am recommitted to updating our blog more!! I'll even try to include some day-to-day happenings at the Graham household.

Our Christmas break was wonderful!  We are so lucky to have both of us get work off for the Annual Murray Family Ski trip.  From Dec. 27- Jan. 2nd we all stayed at a cabin at Brighton and enjoyed some great ski runs, competitive games (embarrassing games Bjorn will say), fabulous family nights, the blessing of our sweet new addition Preston, and mostly just sitting around watching "the boys" (Gabe and his 2 cousins).

Each family was in charge of a family activity for a night.  We had a parenting panel, a seminary trivia game, Scotland family history, poetry recitation, and a mandatory game of Spontuneous. Also, each family had made a video documenting the past 12-15 months with pictures and music.  These fun collaborations were viewed each evening throughout the week.

My parents brought back Murray (Graham for us) family Tartans and ties for everyone, and the cutest little scottish hats for the boys!   




our new years eve celebration was more exciting in the pictures than in reality.  Here we don our KC hats in remembrance of our Argentine Hermana 


Gabe was not thrilled with this sled ride- but it was nap time. We've tried it out at home in our backyard and he really enjoys it now. 

I like this picture because my parents are laughing... even if the boys are making funny faces

p.s. I love love and always will love skiing with my family.  We  can't wait for Gabe to join in on the fun!
