Symbols of Christmas "BINGO" game for non readers.

Sweet December Memories

We've already had a wonderful Christmas Season. We've loved receiving cards and family pictures from so many of you. I'm grateful for each of you. We are blessed to be part of a remarkable family. Karlie remarked that we've already done so many fun things this December and she's right! We've loved attending some our grandchildren's Christmas musical programs, feeding the reindeer near the Grand Canyon in Arizona then riding the Polar Express to the North Pole with the Doney's . On Monday, we had the most fun, unexpected day. It snowed in the desert all day long! Those of you who live in Utah probably won't get it - but the whole town paused to play. I joined the hundreds of kids in the park as soon as school was out. It was the best snowman building snow I've experienced in my whole life! I hope Trish will post pictures of our "Frosty" who measured over 6 feet. Trev has quite the arm for snowballs. But Mee-Maw got him right on top of the head, and once in the face. Then we all hid behind a wall of snow and clobbered Scott as he joined his family after work. We hope each of you have a wonderful Christmas and are blessed with the joy of the season in your homes.

Favorite Christmas Tradition: I love when all my sisters sleep in the same room on Christmas Eve. We never get any sleep, but we have a blast talking, laughing and trying to sneak a peak at our presents!
Favorite Christmas Song: Oh Holly Night.. love it!
Favorite Christmas Movie: White Christmas.. I love it so much I watch it year-round!
Favorite Christmas Dessert:My mom's Chocolate Bars and her lemon bars.. I hope you make them this year!!
Favorite Christmas Memory:I love all my Christmas Days, my parents always made Christmas so magical. I loved last Christmas, my first Christmas with Robert.
Favorite Christmas Gift Ever Given:Blankets that I made for my parents.. thanks to Grandma's help.
Favorite Christmas Gift Ever Received:When I was little I used to always tease my dad because he never bought any of the Christmas presents for us. On Christmas day he was just as surprised as us with the presents "he" gave us. So one year he went (by himself) and bought me the ugliest San Francisco 49ers sweatshirt...it meant so much that I wore it ALL the time!
Favorite Christmas Story:The Polar Express
Favorite Christmas Moment this year: Last night when Kerry, Brooke, Di, Robert and I were sitting in a ghetto (but VERY tasty) New York pizza place and it snowed for the first time this year. It was beautiful.

Post away and Merry Christmas!

Christmas Past

Oops! OK! So I'm an old (or new blogger) and I put my profile in the wrong place. I've been looking thru old photos and came across pics of Cram Clan Christmas' past that made me laugh. Hope these make you smile, too!

PS - Instead of focusing so much on the receiving of gifts this year, we're trying some new things. i.e. family service project, talent show and movie night. We are each working on a slide show, etc. about our lives since we were last together at the beach. We think Erin's going crazy, though, since she asked all to email old Christmas photos . . .
Any other great ideas?

Calling all Crams!

Calling all Crams! Many Cram family members have tossed around the idea of starting a Family BLOG. Since everyone is scattered across the country, it could be fun to share pictures, funny stories, book reviews and maybe a recipe or two! I don’t have anyone’s email address so please pass this blog site around to other family members. Have them email me at Lindsay_smith84@hotmail.com so they can also be authors on our family blog. May the blogging begin!?!?!?

ps Once I get more email addresses set up I will make the blog PRIVATE so only our family can view the blog!
