I bet you are truly enjoying it. Love the pic of your backyard. I can just imagine the snow and cold. It sure brings back memories from growing up and living in Michigan. We have no snow here and the temps roll back and forth from 70's to freezing.<br />Love your First Christmas ornament. Your phones reflection is a sweet touch.<br />Have a great rest of the week and stay warm.
