Excitement!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and that my friends means pure excitement for me!!! I love Christmas!!! I love the meaning of the great holiday, the lights, the trees, the songs, the smells, the baked goods, the gifts, I love it all. So I was thinking last night, here are my top 5 things that I'm excited about right now!

#1- My cute little elf, Torbin!!! He's SO cute and getting cuter everyday! His smile melts my heart! I'm so excited for him to experience Christmas this year! And I'm excited about his hat, and the matching ones Jon and I have to take a family Christmas picture! Woot!

#2- SNOW! That's right, I'm a lover of Snow! I think it's beautiful! I don't mind driving in it, and I love making snow angels! This is the view from my front porch... Ah, the snow! I love our little snow covered mountain.

#3- Decorations!! I was a little bummed yesterday while I was decorating, and thinking of Nate Berkus and how my decorations were seriously lacking. But thanks to my muse, Jon, and inspiration from Heidi's house, we have this festive decoration! Once this was complete, I got excited about decorating again!
#4- Unexpected awesomeness! This is the CUTEST carseat cover ever that my sister-in-law's mom (Grandma Trudy) made for Torbin. It's so perfect and so Christmasy! It has made me smile all night! I'm sure Torbin is excited about it too, it's flannel so it'll keep him warm, but I was much more excited. What a pleasant surprise!

#5- Nativities! I love the nativity story, and nativity sets. This one is olive wood from Jerusalem and it makes me happy. :)

Happy Christmas to All!!! I hope you are excited about a few things too!
