Christmas on the hill...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the hills of Colden. This year I upgraded my little tree to an upside down tree that my mother inspired. She was the first to have the unique tree to show off all my brother's wonderful glass ornaments. So, like mother...like daughter. 
This is a sample of some of the beautiful hand blown glass ornaments my brother Mike made.
Jim also makes lovely wooden ornaments that adorn our tree. I got two new ones to add to the collection this year. 
Believe it or not, I still need a few ornaments the back of the tree is empty...LOL.
Christmas dinner that we hold on the following Saturday after the real holiday. John, Theresa, Jake, Jim, Amanda, Jan, Jen and Sarah. Peter sitting with Madeleine (missing from the pic) sitting at the kids table, which Peter calls his poker table.
A typical day looking out the kitchen window in winter. :) Jim's wood shop being heated by Betsy the Boiler. He said it is 70 degrees inside.
Jim is crooning to some Christmas carols while preparing the turkey, or is that dancing with the turkey. Yep, he was dancing with the bird...and that is without drinking wine. LOL
Peter and Sarah hugging on Christmas afternoon at Mom & Dads.
Jim cooked a 15lb prime rib, mushroom soup, 2 flavors of creme brulee (orange cranberry & chocolate mint aka mouth wash...opps, at little too much mint), sweet & sour cabbage and gratin potatoes. It was all SOOO delicious! By the way Gail, this shirt is one you sent him YEARS ago from California. :)
