Graham family 2011

This past year has been busy. We have had many good things happen in our family and some not so good!! For the first part of last year our daughter Heather and her family lived with us- her husband was layed off from his job. He decided to go back to school and they found a job and a place to live. I know a lot of people have had similar trials. Four of our sons work for my brothers cabinet shop. They have had a very hard time this year-in that they never know when they will get paid. This has been a real struggle and still is. It is very hard to watch there families struggle.. I hope and pray that they all have a better year.. Heather and Meghan's husbands are going to school and Matthews wife is in school. Kinsey is also going to Utah State. Michael is single and lives alone- I know that times have been tough for him to. I wish him good things in the next year.
 Meghan had a daughter in February- Olivia. Our son Ian and his wife Katie live in Grand Forks ND.. They just had a daughter -Lucie Dec. 2. Matthew and Amber will be having there first child any time now. All of my children are very hard working-they all have great spouses! I think the hardest thing about this year for my children would be- income.  Thank heavens they have all been healthy..(children and grandchildren)
Bill and I are very lucky. We both have good jobs and we have been healthy. I am so lucky to have a great family. My daughters and I do so many crafts together. We have fun... We live in beautiful Cache Valley. What a great place to live. I want to wish everyone A Very Merry Christmas and may we all have a successful New Year 2012.
