2017 seemed to be a year full of new adventures and "firsts"! I hadn't been home for all the hustle and bustle of Christmas for 5 years and boy did I ever miss it! Starbucks and studying for finals filled my December Experiencing and practicing out skills out in the "field" - preparing us for our final practical Something I've really missed doing - hanging the Christmas lights out at the farm!

(Parts of) Family Day

Family Day was different this year then others - it had become an annual tradition to go hiking, however due to some conflicting plans it didn't work out this year! Some went here, others there, yet we were all together for dinner! I took Faith and the two youngest boys swimming - there was hardly anyone there, the boys so enjoyed it! Game time Music Time Grandma wanted help cutting out her runner... At 10pm I got inspired to do a cake - I had a gracious helper:) My Dad's project for the day! It's so nice - getting all these projects done around here!

Sunday Afternoon

One Sunday afternoon I brought these adorables back to the farm for some fishing! It's all I could do to get them to stop! Hudson wanted to keep catching them, didn't think that it mattered if we couldn't eat them all!
