McCurdy's - Picking and Cutting Down Our Christmas Tree

This was a first for the Clapper fam.  We (well "I") decided we were going to go and cut down our own Christmas tree this year. A friend highly recommended it and said it would be a wonderful experience. Anyone that knows my husband knows he was hating every minute of this but kept his thoughts to himself (LOL). We had a beautiful day (THANK GOD) and I think we did a pretty good job picking out a nice Christmas tree.

All five of us together at once - now that's a rarity!

 My boys!

 Me! My hands were cold...please don't think I was going to get down
on the ground and start sawing away because that was NOT gonna happen!

 My Gracie!

 My Jacob!

 The fam!

Here she is...she's perfect and she smelled like citrus (it was called a "concolor" tree - I think...)



Hersheypark Candylane 2012

It was nice having Lil' George home from school over the Thanksgiving holiday.  On "Thanksgiving Eve" me, Georgie, Jacob & Gracie went to Hersheypark Candylane.  It was tad bit chilly but nothing a little hot chocolate didn't fix! Well, I also hit the restrooms a few times to defrost...it was like 80 degrees in there!  It was nice to spend time with all three kids...that's very a rarity nowadays.

Me and my kidos!

Getting Ready for Holiday Dance Performance

Gracie and the rest of the gals in her dance class received their costumes for their upcoming holiday performance. The girls even gave us parents a little demonstration as to what to expect come performance night.  They all looked so cute!

Disney on Ice - Rockin' Ever After

Me and Gracie wen to Disney on Ice (Rockin' Ever after) at the Giant Center in Hershey this past Saturday (November 3rd). We both had a great time.  I did the best I could with the pics..it was hard to get a decent picture from the suite.

Lil' Georgie - Halloween 2012

I snagged a picture of Georgie off of his Facebook page. Looks like he and his friends celebrated Halloween as Teletubbies.  Ah to be young, again!

Georgie (Green Teletubby) and his college buddies!

3rd Grade Halloween Party

Me and another class mom hosted a Halloween party for Gracie's third grade class.  What a blast!

Halloween 2012

I was unable to make it home on time to get pics of the kids but I got pics after they returned from trick-or-treating. They were both vampires this year.

 Enough candy for the kids and mommy & daddy!

Visit to North Carolina

Me, Lil Georgie, Jacob & Gracie took a roadtrip down to see my dad, sister and Aunt Linda over Labor Day weekend. It was a short trip but it was nice to see the fam.
