The Acreage

We are hanging out at the acreage for most of the week while the big kids are off school. It's been a while since we've been out for a long visit and they have been counting down the days. Camilla even thought ahead enough to do her own laundry, fold it, and pack the clothes that she wanted to wear. It's crazy how independent they are getting!

We have been waking up early to the most beautiful sun rises that paint the sky in purple, orange, and pink. 

I baked up a crazy big lemon loaf and chatted with my Mom.

The early mornings brought early naps.

I had one of those "since-when-did-you-get-so-big" moments with Hyrum and had to snap a picture. He is trying to grow his hair out because he likes it spiky and long. He is developing his own sense of style and I just love him so much. I sure wish he would stop growing up though!

Despite the cold, we did make it out for a little bit of exploring. Ollie and his side-kick didn't last too long, but the three older kids wandered all over the acreage making tracks in the deep snow.

Evenings were spent looking at fabric and piecing together a woodland quilt that I've been dying to sew. I am in love with the teal blue, and I kind of have a thing for foxes.
