5 more days until Christmas break. If you couldn't tell, I am really looking forward to Christmas break this year. 11 days at home with Jacob - 4 of which Jeremy will be home too. I'm staying home this year, for the first time, in a long time. I typically go up home for at least a few days. It's not that I don't want to go home, with Jeremy's schedule, it just doesn't work as well this year.
We have about 6-8 inches of beautiful snow! I love the first big snow. When you look out and it's all smooth and sparkly, where no one has walked yet. A giant blanket of white covering everything.
Jacob and I went outside to play while Daddy shoveled the driveway. Our neighbors plowed the sidewalk from our house up to theirs so we walked a little bit and then took the sled the other way. We made it around the curve before the sled tipped over and I dumped Jacob in the snow. Of course, in his coat, snow pants, boots, etc. it's a little tough to get up. We got righted and headed for home. I had to stop and adjust the rope on the sled...made for short people...and then Daddy took over. Poor Jacob, Daddy took about 2 steps and dumped Jacob on his face in the snow! At that point, playtime was over! Jacob and Mommy went for the house. The poor kid, he didn't want to go in...but he was all wet - snow down his jacket, in his hat, up his mittens - ugh! We made it into the house, Jacob is crying, crying, and I put him down to wrestle off my boots, and he slipped on the linoleum in his wet boots and fell flat on his front on the floor. Poor kid! Funny thing...he didn't want to go back out anymore!?!
I ordered a prime rib today from the butcher. I've never made one before. Jeremy and I have, in the past typically spent Christmas Eve as "our time". We have a nice meal, open our gifts from each other, and before Jacob - went to church. We're going to cook our prime rib, we'll see what the little boy does with it and we'll open our gifts after he goes to bed. I'm really looking forward to this time together. Wish me luck on the rib!
