Christmas Cards + Birthday

Today we celebrate my mom’s birthday! My brothers and I are blessed with a remarkable mother, who has been the glue of our family. I always feel terrible for her having a birthday the day before Christmas. As a mother, who always put her children first, I know there were many years her birthday got overlooked. In honor of her, I thought I would share a few family memories through old Graham Christmas cards.

1984. The “Graham Boys” were so adorable. Yes, my brother had a pet raccoon.
1986. I made my presence into this world. Nice bow mom.
1988. Love Edward’s rolled jeans. 24 years later they are back in style.
1989. Mom rocks the perm.
1990. Season of the Sweaters.
1991. My beloved poney, pokey, made the Christmas card.
1993.
1994. The personality card.
1995. I guess my brother Will didn’t want to show up for the card.
1998. The Wedding era begins and we welcome Kendra to the family.
2001. We welcome Donna and my first niece, CJ.
2004. Edward marries Kristy.
The family keeps on growing.

 

Happy Birthday to my beautiful Mom! We love you.
