Way Back When...

A few pictures of me and my sister (Hollie) from back in the day when we were kids.

Jacob & Gracie decorating the Christmas tree without bickering and arguing? NEVER!

Still need to get a new topper.

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!

 My Georgie!

 The fam!

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