Gravell Family Cruise

We had a wonderful time on our Gravell Family Cruise.
Spending time with family is the best way to start the New Year!













We spent a couple hours in Ensenada. 
We walked around town and ate at a fish taco shop and a nice Mexican restaurant. 
The homemade corn and flour tortillas were amazing.



Clark didn't think the jalapeno would be that spicy.


How many of us can we squeeze into the elevator?











Everyone ate lots of ice cream, besides me. I didn't eat any at all.


Fun ropes course. 
Jane was quite scared, but dad walked/talked her through it.











Dining.



Hanna and Van, twins.

New Years Day 2024

 We spent New Years Day with the Jensen's/Blackwell's.

It had been a while since we had all been together. 

It was so fun seeing everyone. Being with family is the best!

Max and Dawson hung out a lot during the break.


Way to go Hanna, lifted 185 lbs.


We just watched the ball drop in NY on tv and went to bed at 9:30. 
We're tired.

Merry Christmas

 We enjoyed opening gifts this morning, playing basketball, eating leftovers and spending time together. I’m so thankful for my Savior and for His example He is to me. It’s my hope and prayer that I can strive to be more like Him each day.










Not sure who's more excited, Max or Daisy?!


I got some fun gifts too.


We decided to return the rumba and get a couch instead.
Love it!

Daisy's apple watch and playing basketball at the church.
