Christmas Letter, Repeat

I've decided to post our family's Christmas letter from last year, minus all the print shop graphics(something is up with the file)...Just in case I don't get a letter out this year.So just cross out 2009 and add 2010.... For lessons learned... refer to the posts "My Superman Needs A Helmet" for Grant and "Buying Bathing Suits...bring Advil" for me. And finally add TYC, Hot Chocolate and the Vancouver LDS Temple to the Gratitude List :)

Merry Christmas from the Crazy Kramer's

As a public service & proof that we still qualify as the "Crazy Kramers" we have decided to for go the traditional brag letter and share the valuable lessons we have learned this year.

LESSONS FROM 2009

GRANT * Passing a Ghost Car around Cameron Lake can get really expensive! ( And yes honey, even a tan Suburban can be a Police car.)

BAILEY- Wearing a football helmet to church is not just a fashion statement but a necessity.(wet sidewalk + dress shoes + running = 15 stitches to chin)

ALEX * It is possible to be the perfect student, well almost (At parent teacher conference after listening to her teacher rave for 5 minutes we asked *Well is there anything Alex can work on?*To which her teacher replied *Well she is a little afraid of the volleyball?!*)

MADISON *Fear of heights is called *ACROPHOBIA*. Acrophobia and the ski lift on Mount Washington are not a good combination.

HOLLY- A snow shovel is the perfect tool to clean your room, if you wait long enough...

DALLYN- Vacuum Cleaners can catch on fire. (When trying to vacuum your room it is a good idea to pick up the Lego first)

ROBIN- You never realize how much Crap (I mean belongings) you have until you move.
