Around the house in Dec

She read herself right to sleep. Apparently I like to take pictures of these babies sleeping.

Got started on EC's new hat. It has a heart pattern.

We've been into popcorn here recently as a snack and it's so good.

Fermentation weights.

Fermenting lids.

My new preservation hobby is fermentation. It's such a cool process and these radishes turned out so good. You make a salt water brine, let them sit 2-7 days depending on the veggie type and then stick them in the fridge for up to 6 months. They're great as a side to just about any meal and they're so good for a healthy microbiome in your gut!

Somebody's just a little spoiled.

His first lizard. 




Muscadine wine is jarred and ready to drink!

Silly things!

A mushroom painting Emily did for Abby. It turned out so cute that Carolyn wants a big copy for her kitchen!

EC and her new sleeping bag. I think she'll stay warm now!

They both love their new sleeping bags and laying in front of the fire.

EC's version of Emily's mushroom painting.



EC's finished hat.



And it looks good on her!

Making some lion's mane tincture.
Barbie lego version of EC.


Benjamin modeling his new knit hat.


She's just so sweet looking.

Frozen 2 here we come.


What the kitchen floor looks like most days. We won't let them take the legos to any other room in the house because, well they'll take over the entire house! So they all 4 play right here and it's great!

Benjamin's birthday party


Benjamin loves tractors so of course we had to party tractor style for his 3rd birthday. From tractor snacks to tractor rides we did it all. Happy birthday little buddy!



















Corey, Perry, Justin, Chris and Missy

Pop, Benjamin, Anna, Jack and Abel


Out of all the gifts he liked this red 4 wheeler like Daddy's the most!


My cute little Scottish lad.




Homemade cards from Emma and Adalyn.

Carolyn trying to help Ben Ben figure out how this car works. She's still recovering from the jump of excitement that nearly sent her backwards down the stairs. Ben Ben was so excited to see Carolyn and give her a hug that he went full force running for her while she was still on the stairs coming up to the outfitter. I am still in amazement that he didn't send the two of them flying backwards. She held her ground, caught him and hugged him while a huge grin. We have to work on not getting that excited or at least waiting until people are off the stairs to hug them.


Nonna brought EC a gift too. She found the coolest little linking flower garden things and Ella Claire loves putting them together to make cute bouquets.

Everyone's ready for a tractor ride through the woods.






Just hanging out for the after party.


Ashley playing with the kiddos on the swing and trying to convince Ella Claire to be her future daughter in law.
