Desert Sunset

This is a classic desert sunset. I took this picture standing on our driveway!

Graham's Holiday Adventures

Graham and the other Nichols' had quite a lot of holiday fun...spending five days with each set of grandparents. So many pictures were taken of him on his first Christmas/Hanukkah, we could not possibly post them all. Here are a few highlights, but feel free to check out the entire web album if you'd like to see more. Be prepared to see some tired parents!!

There's no business like snow business.

While at Chiricahua National Monument, Graham had his first ever introduction to SNOW! He was extremely skeptical when we put it in his hand. When I suggested to Andy that we let him eat some, Andy was horrified. It wasn't yellow!

Chiricahua National Monument

The Nichols' discovered a new spot that we can't believe we missed until now- Chiricahua (Cheery-Cow-uh) National Monument. Andy and I agreed that it was one of the coolest National Parks we had ever seen. Check out these rock formations! This place was other-worldly.

Horton Hears a Graham

The holidays started early for Graham, who kicked off his Chistmas season by opening his first EVER Christmas gift from his Nonnie- a Horton stuffed elephant. He loved it so much that he screeched in a pitch only dogs could hear!
