ALERT!! Part 4










Well, here it is. Pictures of the snow! It is really real. It is not fake. Also, the boys have a SNOW DAY!!! IN VEGAS!!! They are so excited. It is 10pm at night and I still have one or two outside in the snow. Enjoy the pictures.

A picture of the front yard with light snow you can't see yet!!!

In the parking lot by the Junior High, the snow is actually sticking!

LOTS OF ACCUMULATION!! Matthew in the front yard enjoying and loving the snow!!

ALERT!! Part 3

Okay, I guess I have to say I was very skeptical about actually getting snow. Wednesday, today, is the day! We are actually getting snow, here in Henderson! Its not sticking yet, don't know if it will, but I have three of my four boys outside running around in it. If it actually sticks to something, I will take a picture of it. (For Memories) Hope everyone here in Vegas is enjoying it. It is nice, just don't want it to stay around for very long. That is why I live IN THE DESERT!!!!

ALERT!! Part 2

Of course, we did not get snow. The northeast side did get some snow because they are in higher elevations, but we did get rain, and alot of it. It has been raining steadily since 9 am this morning. And it is almost 4pm. Although, it is cold and wet and overall miserable, we do need all the rain we can get here in Vegas. Alas, I will keep updated on whether we get any snow later in the week. This storm is supposed to last a good 3-4 days.

Christmas Choir Concert

So every year our stake hosts a "Night of Choirs". Each ward in our stake has choir and sings one song. We had that tonight. It was a great evening of beautiful music by each choir and was heartwarming and spiritual. Music always makes my heart "sing". (Yes, pun intended) I have sung in our ward choir since we have moved to Las Vegas and I love it. I almost wasn't able to sing this year due to some untimely laringitus this past week. But fortunately my voice was strong enough by today to be able to sing. The Spirit of Christ always seems so much closer while I listen to and participate in music. I hope that we can all slow down long enough to remember the "reason for the season". I know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love us and have given all of us, ALL of our innumerable blessings in our lives. I hope everyone reading this enjoys this wonderful CHRISTmas season with your families and friends.

The Graham's are wishing you a most blessed season!!

Annual Family Home Evening






We have a Family Home Evening that we started two years ago with some friends, The Freeman's. We go to the Bellagio Gardens every year at the Bellagio Hotel down on the strip. Every Christmas they decorate their flower gardens with beautiful Christmas decorations. Each year our tradition has added a family here and there. We then go to Denny's and have dessert and hot chocolate afterwards. This year we enjoyed the company of the Freeman's, the Scott's and the Murdock's. We all had a great time and look forward to our continued tradition.

Hope you enjoy the following photos.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a great day. Thanksgiving was at our house and we had my mom and brother and his family and we had the Scott's. It was relatively quiet compared to some years. We had a good time and had a lot of great food. It was raining that day too. It was nice. In the evening we checked out some Black Friday deals, and some of us decided to brave the crowds. My mom even spent the night at Best Buy with her friend Felice. Overall, it was worth the crazy crowds and awful early morning times. We all got what we wanted from the deals and went home satisfied. I hope everyone else had an awesome Thanksgiving Day too.
