Sunday Smiles

tracking in our own woods

A walk in the woods recently found us coming upon this:
some feathers and lots of footprints, some sort of battle had definitely taken place
(you can see a few of Jaxson's prints because I could not keep him out of the way)

We tracked the footprints to a big pile of logs- thinking it was the den of whoever found something good to eat. The boys thought it was pretty cool to see the wonder of nature right before their eyes.

snow day

It finally feels like the way Vermont is suppose to be. Cold temps and snow being a regular occurrence. Playing outside for hours and then coming inside for hot coca and warming up by the wood stove. Snuggling down in the afternoon with a good book or crafting project. Enjoying these days so much.

decorating the tree

We're a bit later than usual with the decorating, but always as joyful. This year we have our first star which was made by Landon. He asked Daddy to put it on top of the tree.

We have a wide assortment of ornaments and the boys so enjoy looking at them and deciding just where they will go. Each year we try to add at least one handmade ornament.We talk about where each ornament came from, if it was received as a gift or maybe bought as a memory from someplace special.  It is one of my favorite moments about the holidays. I love having everyone involved.
