MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE GRAF'S 2010

We had our Graf Family Christmas Party at Dave and Colleen's home in Richfield. We had dinner and then we did our WalMart Christmas Party. Everyone gets a name of who is there and we have one hour and we can only spend $5.00. Then we come back and wrap them and we all take turns opening the gifts. We had a wonderful sleepover with all of us also with breakfast the next morning. The house was full of fun and love and happiness. It was a great time.
Thanks Dave and Colleen for letting us all get together and everyone was there!!!!

Bus Incident

Jan, Sister Laura Graf, & Ben Smith
In Dec. 2009, Jan & Ben Smith were invited to go as chaperones on an Art show in Cedar City, Utah with Jan's sister Laura who teaches art. On the way, home the bus driver passed out and Jan was sitting on the front right seat and noticed and brought the bus to a safe stop. His sister Laura held the man back from the wheel and Ben helped also. Jan had a feeling something was going to happen. These three were honored by the Red Cross in Salt Lake City as Good Samaritans in helping with this incident in March 2010. We were glad they were all able to help and save the children and themselves from a tragic accident.
