Horse drawn sleigh rides, Santa's lap, the Christmas tree, The Elf on the Shelf fun, presents under the tree, snowpants to play outside in the snow and more are getting us in the mood for Christmas. Riley was pretty psyched about meeting the 'big guy' this year and told him exactly what it is his heart desires.
Saturday before Daddy returned home to us we went out and shoveled the whole driveway as a surprise for him. Holy moly we had ALOT of snow! Riley went ice fishing for most of the driveway and actually ruined his pole by shoving it deep in the snow in search of the illusive yard fish but it was all worth it to see him beaming as he yelled out "Big one Mommy!" When it was all said and finally done we just laid in the snow and looked up at the sky for a good 20 minutes until Daddy pulled in. Huge snow mounds are remarkably comfy and after nearly 2 hours of hard labor I could have slept there easily! I love this time of year and am happy to have mailed out our cards last night so now all there is left to do is to sit back, relax, sip some cocoa and enjoy the month with family watching the classics on DVD and snuggling up tightly with lots of blankets.
That silly Elf cracks me up with his expression and then this boy keeps me chuckling as his personality shines through more and more everyday.
