Winter Wonderland

I've been letting the girls play with Bounty in the snow out back by themselves. Wyatt is too little so he and I hang out inside the kitchen and watch from the door. He gets so excited just watching his sisters run around. Maybe next year he'll be big enough to join them. They also like to tease him and make faces at him through the door.

You can see he hasn't been skipping any meals!

Thanksgiving tradition of grave blanket making

We finshed our 3rd year of making grave blankets for the Youngblood/Parr side of the family. We made 7 again this year for Dave's dad, great grandparents, great aunt, grandparents and great uncle. They turned out just as pretty as ever and we are so proud and happy that we get to do this for them. We used the spruce trees from our farm and I handmade the bows and bouquets. We keep them on the graves for about 4 months. Because it is so cold here, they look lovely and festive for months. I've never seen grave blankets anywhere but Michigan.

Wyatt FINALLY gets his first tooth!

It's just a little tiny speck, but I felt it for the first time yesterday. He's such a little sweetie:)
