This weekend we are focusing on slowing down, being mindful and in the moment. There has been loads of crafting, knitting, holidaying, little girl laughter, cookie eating and saying no to doing – even though it can be so hard.
Our whole Saturday consisted of going to cut down a Christmas tree at our favorite House Mountain Christmas Tree Farm. The man who runs the farm is 82 years-old. He sent us down to his house to have hot chocolate with his wife who was making fresh wreaths on the front porch. She welcomed the girls into their 100 year-old log cabin and to soar in their tree swing. They have 28 grandchildren between their 5 grown children! They welcomed our crew warmly. We took time to visit, to talk, sip hot chocolate, and sip some more hot chocolate.
The girls romped in their boots while insisting on wearing nice holiday outfits and mama made skirts to go cut down a tree. What can I say? That’s what little girls are made of.
Next week look for a series of posts featuring easy to make Christmas tree decorations for all ages, birthday celebrations and hopefully some homemade gift ideas for teachers. Yes, that time is coming and it will be here before you know it!
Enjoy your Sunday, and our snapshots from today.
