Finally Ready for Christmas

Our biggest present - a new computer!!!
The tree with all the presents waiting patiently beneath it
The wonderful stockings my mother-in-law has made for each of us. We are now ready for Christmas to come with just about all the gifts under the tree (or already opened), the stockings hung up and just about all our gifts to others sent out.
This is what we woke up to this morning - snow covering our entire back doors! The wind is so fierce here, it really makes it feel alot colder than it is (like it needs to!)
The blazing fire Robert built for me this morning before he left for work (I love my husband!) It made our house feel so nice and cozy with the wind blowing so hard outside! We are thinking of building another one on Christmas Eve and roasting marshmellows! But these will be few and far in between because we have no way of keeping Sammy away from the stove, which gets quite hot on the outside, and you know toddlers - they want to explore and touch everything!

Yes, Grandma is a softy and bought it for him and had I known the picture was on the side of the box, I wouldn't have taken the box out of the shipping bag - oops!
