Two Thousand Eleven

The girls and I managed to squeeze in 1 last trip before the end of the year! The American girl store never disappoints however this time it was much better than the last when I had a mini-mom-meltdown with one of Grace's twins.
I'm not really reflecting on twenty eleven because I know that although this year great it was not without worry, pain and sadness. In the end we came out better and stronger and realize just how good we have it! I can't wait to see what's in store for 2012!

Christmas Chaos

Another Clymer Christmas has come and gone. Once again, we missed my brothers and their families but it was a wonderful year full of celebrations. We toasted to health, a hard year behind us and a bright future ahead.

holiday hook-up

It's official...another holiday tradition has been born! We started last year and have many more to go. The girls getting together for drinks, dinner and funnies is a must every year at this time. Truly, I love these girls!

spreading a little Christmas cheer

Look at all of those carolers! It was a cheerful night of singing, friends and a visit from Santa. Ethan sang a solo at one of the homes! God is good!
The girls had another great year of this fun, family tradition!

Thanksgiving week went something like this:
Pie-baking, family-bonding, deep-pitting, game-playing, table-cloth dressing, champagne-drinking and of course, loads of loving!
