This lucky kid has two castle towers to build his fortress.   So far we have put together one of them.

Christmas morning on the mountain

Do we have enough?

We don't have a lot of snow, but I think there's enough for the sled run on New Year's Eve.  

I spent yesterday doing my Christmas baking.  I play my favorite Christmas CD's all day long as I am baking and putting together my gifts.  I love it.  

My friend, Cynthia, made this beautiful Christmas card for us and Billy gave us some of his Plum Liqueur.  He has perfected the technique for making liqueurs.  It's the perfect drink for taking off a winter chill.  (It's not too bad to have a little nip of it while baking the goodies?)  

Today is my Christmas in Hope Crawl.

It begins by going to the Outskirts Marketplace Cafe in Hope to listen to our friend Bruce perform, then I move on to Neil and Ann's for their Christmas Open House. Last but not least, we will end the day with band practice here and our band Christmas dinner.   

Retired Mountain Man and I are very lucky.  We have just enough of everything we could ever want.  

Merry Christmas!

Houston, we have our tree....

We found the tree in our field and here it is!

All keyboard players need one of these ornaments.  Cool!

A Christmas card that David made for us when he was in the third grade.......

Yesterday I made my cookie dough and it is ready to bake today --  or should I wrap gifts?  Hmmm.  It's too early in the day to make a decision.  I need more Evan's Brothers coffee.

Oh no! Not .......

A packaged arrived today from one of Santa's elves in Victor, Montana.

It contained something for my kitchen....

and something for the new porch......

I am almost finished decorating inside.

RMM's favorite Christmas decoration. 

 Actually, he hates it because the little bells jingle every time someone opens the door.  When the grandkids are here, that happens a lot.....

My favorite stocking from Kristine.

My favorite Christmas card this year - from Martha and Martin.

I hope this does not happen to you this year.
