We have found ourselves out at the Acreage for the last bit of Christmas break. I must admit I shed a tear or two when I thought about my Gramma not being next door anymore. She always brought over warm banana bread upon our arrival and the littles would gobble a whole loaf to themselves. Grampa is doing well and when he caught me crying he told me to be happy. He said that I should just tell myself to be happy anytime I felt like crying. It was so cute. Mom and I went through Gramma's yarn and got it out of Grampa's way as per request. I inherited her stash and a few special crochet books (the one's she picked the patterns from for our baby blankets). It's so quiet over there now without the radio and TV going non-stop. I sure miss her.
Despite the cold weather the littles bundled up and asked Grampa for a sled ride behind the quad. We had to do some shuffling with the ski pants since I forgot Hyrum's, but it worked out okay because they are all similar in size.
Typically they go for a nice, easy ride down the road, but today Grampa took them to the back field. They are getting older and enjoy the thrill of falling off much more now.
Our cautious Camilla was even trying to tip the sled when Grampa would whip them around the corners! Their giggles were priceless!
Joseph finally worked up the courage near the end and went for one circle. He wasn't a fan of the tilted sled as it followed the quad tracks around the field, but he survived!
I hung out with this handsome guy until the littles begged me to get my snow gear on and go for a ride with them. Being that I'm not pregnant this Winter I was able to let loose and have fun without worrying about anything. Camilla and I shrieked and whooped behind the quad as Grampa crazily drove around the field. It made me miss the good old days with the neighborhood kids!
