My new best friend

This is my new best friend! So Jeremy has always been awesome at keeping up with the snow! He spends hours outside shoveling. He's been hassling me for years for a snow blower. I just could never get over the price tag. I usually end up shoveling quite a bit every year too, because it snows when Jeremy's at work too. Duh. Well I shoveled a lot yesterday. Half of the driveway, twice. 6 inches each time! Well my back and arms were sore when Jer called begging again. This time we have bonus money in our account too. So what the heck, we are now the proud owners of a Torro snow blower. He used it last night. So fast and easy! This morning he didn't have time, so in my stupor and half sleep he explained how to use it. Of course I called him when I got out there, but it wasn't to hard to start. I ended up having so much fun! I did three hours hard labor shoveling in 20 minutes! And I did my neighbors and all the way to the bus stop! I think I can get used to this!

This is a lot of snow for only a couple days!

I love my Santa! Jeremy's Mom made it!

We stuffed our tree in between the piano and the t.v.

I made the table cloth out of old Christmas material. I love it! Last year we got all of the wooden manger scene stuff for the twelve days of Christmas. I love it too! I love the feel of the house all decorated for Christmas. This is the best time of the year. We have been reading our nightly story, scripture and song, and talking about the true meaning of Christmas. I hope I do all the right things so my kids will love this time of year like I do!
