And That's A Wrap!

We headed over the mountains to my daughter's they were giving a festive holiday party. They were wonderful and booked us a hotel room for the night as snow was predicted. 

She asked her dad to be Santa. Well, he gave it a shot. HO HO HO

And I think that makes me Mrs. Santa by proxy.

I think this is maybe the 3rd selfie I have ever taken lol.

My three favorite people our grand, our daughter, and our son in law. Sweet B had her high school friends there and they all had a picture with Santa so sweet. 

Christmas day was sunny and very windy and cold.

We went to my daughter's and celebrated with my son in law's family also. There was a bet made last year and my son in law's sister lost so expensive champagne it was! We all got a taste what a luxury! 

My Son in Law's father cooks an amazing rib roast with all the fixings. I brought home leftovers and the bones. Today I put the bones in the crockpot made stock and a beautiful beef stew. 

Earlier in the week I made French butter. It is a bit of a process, but it is delicious. With the buttermilk left over I made biscuits to go with my stew. It is a perfect night for stew the temps never got above the single digits today. The woodstove is humming along in the basement; we are tucked in, well fed and cozy. My blessings are many.

And Santa well he is very very tired.

We have Miss kora for a few days while her family goes on a little birthday trip for my grand who is turning 15!!!! We were watching the sun rise and deciding if going outside at 1 degree was a good idea. No but a dogs gotta go.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday just the way you like it. We are very cold and a bit of snow coming in again tonight. 

                     Have a wonderful weekend.
