The Homegrown Explorers took to the woods in search of the perfect bough to make the perfect Christmas wreaths. It was a gorgeous December day - sunny and a little nippy!
Armed with pruners, saws and wagons the boys set off.
The little ones had a great day with Mama Thorne leading them through the woods. She even had them cutting their own little boughs. So cute!
As usual Hannah and Chase had to strike a pose.
A bunch of the older kids.
The whole group with just a fraction of our boughs. The tree farm in the back is the Chamberlain Christmas Tree Farm. Thanks to Ward for letting us visit and cut boughs again this year. He had gorgeous trees if you aren't sure where to go and cut your own!Then we all headed back to the church to assembly our wreaths and swags. After a quick impromptu lesson the kids set to work cutting and wrapping.
Hannah is hard at work finding the perfect bough.
Slow and steady, Chase worked diligently creating her beautiful wreath.
A little help from a mom goes a long way!
Finally time to decorate!All the kids did a great job. I wish I had a picture of all of them with their wreaths or swags!
