I think it is IMPOSSIBLE to get a good picture of any group of kids together. One of the goals of our day was to get a cute grandchildren photo. Well, we either had one child crying, one not smiling, or one looking away. Here's to wishful thinking!
See, now in this picture, Rachel (middle girl) had it with our clever idea and she was slowly backing up. Caroline was trying to hold down the fort by gently placing her hands on her brother who would not look at us!! Focus, kids. Focus.
Caroline with her great-great-aunt Rosa. This is the sweetest lady!
Our family with Aunt Rosa.
Three wild and crazy brothers.
The Graham men. They're a tough bunch.
These two kids started it all. And they got married in this same yard. Where does the time go?!
Again, good idea but the result? Organized chaos.
So we took a little break. Corey, stop trying to kiss Cissie...again!
These two cousins had fun playing yesterday. Caroline thinks Rachel is so cool.
Okay, let's give it one more try.
Daddy Bill came outside to visit. Here he is meeting Hannah for the first time.
"How's that team treating you, son?"
Our turn! Something tells me Daddy Bill is getting a little tired of this photo shoot.
But he keeps on smiling. This is the last family shot, Daddy Bill. I promise.
Someone loves her Gramps.
Ending the day at "The Blue Cone". No trip to Montreat would be the same without it!
And that's a wrap, Graham family!

Great pictures, Donna! You were on top of it! I love the picture with all the kids together! and the newleyweds are looking good too!
You have had a busy week!!! How many trips does that make to Montreat now?!! The pictures are great. I love the ones of Rachel and Caroline, Franklin and Jane, and Gramps and Caroline. "So petty!" I was telling someone about that story the other day!!
I didn't know you were going back to Montreat again. Looks like it was a nice day with family and it was nice that Roy's dad could be there too. BG looks good and strong. My favorite picture is the one of Caroline and her gramps. That's a framer.
Great family photos! Love 'em! They are priceless.
Okay, Donna, I am the slowest person in the world. I did not know you married into "the Graham" family. I really don't know what to say... other than, what a blessing to be surrounded by amazing people. Cool!
Loved the pics donna...so glad you guys had a good family day. They are so freshing!!
Isn't is wonderful when the WHOLE family is able to get together? I love it!! The pictures are great...and I like the one of the "progenators"!! Yes, they started it all! Thanks for the pictures. So glad you had a good day up there in Montreat.
haha, jenius...i like the reference to the "progenerators."
donna, these are great pictures!
What great pictures!! Hopefully sweet memories as well! The one of Caroline and Gramps is really sweet. And I'm with Dolly, BG is looking strong. The one of the brothers is fun too.....should have thrown Cissie in there. :O)Thanks for sharing these with us!
I love the photographs. Thank you for posting them!
What priceless memories!! That place looks like a true haven--so peaceful and pretty. I'm sure it's a treat to visit!
Wonderful pictures, Donna ---you are to be commended for taking the iniative and time to capture the moments while you can ---it's always a hassle, it seems, while it's happening, but look at the results! EVERYONE loves them when they're done! Your children are adorable....so sweet with Caroline and her gramps ---and BG does look great. Glad you had a great time w/ the whole family.
YES! I'm commenting before Smalley and Clardy. Simma down, girls, Simma down. Take a deeeeep breath and getcha a nice cold cup of water. LOL. :)
Donna, those are great pics. I love em all. I'm feeling this was a sneak preview to Graham Christmas Card 08!
Donna, I love the one of Jane and all the grandkids - it looks like a great idea gone crazy (bless her heart she's right in the middle of all of it trying to manage everyone).:) Thanks for sharing them, you got some great ones.
Great pictures! It's so nice that your children have cousins so close in age. Good times!
That is nice Donna. Everyone looks like they had a good time. Glad you had fun and that you are home safe.
GREAT blog Donna. That was a fun day. Thanks for being flexible and coming to Montreat. Hope you can come to Washington with Roy:)
Hannah, what do you mean? A christmas card without Russ Busby? Now that just wouldn't be right. Haha
Donna, will might not like his blogging sister-n-law who does not respect his decision despite his parents of 1 L. Wi"l"
Great pictures, I loved seeing you guys again.
Loved, loved, loved this post. I have to admit...I almost feel voyueristic looking at personal family pictures of Billy Graham.
HPS - You have sent a dagger through my heart.
KRISTY!!! You finally figured out how to comment:) I'm impressed. Cissie, I know Will wants to be called "Wil" but I just can't do it! It's habit to do the 2 L's.
Smalley, I knew you'd like this post!!
KRISTI! It was all in good fun. I was ONLY kidding. I hope I didn't really hurt your feelings.
Yes, KristY, welcome, welcome!
CIss, were's ole Russ when you need him?!?!?
