The littles slept in until passed nine this morning (all except Joe that is). Mr. Stannix woke up at nine and had to check if Hyrum was still breathing. He has never slept that long in his entire life. The drive out was great, although it was late at night. Near the end Camilla was super helpful and said some pretty funny things.
"Mom, we have two problems. Joe really wants my teddie, aaaand he's still hungry."
"Would you like some more baby treats for Joe?"
"I thought you'd NEVER ask!..."
Man, am I ever glad to be home! It's been far too long. Almost six months since Mr. Stannix was out here with me. The snow is beautiful, the air fresh, and the company good.
Today we broke trail through the snow to cut down an unwanted pine in the yard to use for Christmas. We didn't have to go far at all! Hyrum and I were practically last to join the crew. We carefully navigated our way down the winding path, trying to keep our footing while following previous footprints. Just before we got to the end Mr. Stannix lovingly tackled me into the snow (and poor Hyrum who was holding my hand for balance). Boys are crazy.
Then we did some group shots with our soon-to-be Christmas tree.
One of the youngmen from my parent's home ward was out and lent a hand!
Auntie snagged a picture with Cami girl. Both beauties.
My siblings and I also grabbed some Winter portraits. Who can resist beautiful weather, sparkly snow and warm sunlight!? I am so grateful for these two!
Joe and Daddy also had some special time together. Daddy is a hit! The kids are loving having him around. Every morning Camilla will ask, "Daddy, today you don't have to go to your workshop right?" I'm not sure why it's become his workshop, but it's so sweet.
