Coldest Christmas Eve Ever!

                           Christmas Eve morning every window in the house looked like this.  Fourteen degrees outside, only 43 inside!! We refused to turn on the propane backup, the dogs like it cold like this anyway, and that's all that matters!  lol
 

    We put on a fire, and it has been going non-stop Christmas Eve through Christmas.  Should be in the 40s tomorrow and hopefully by my birthday it will be in the high 50s for my birthday hike. 

       This year's Christmas Eve cocktail was a "French Martini" but in our lovely bear pilsners, not a martini glass.  Chambord, Vodka and pineapple juice. It was delightful with a great meal Bob brought from Asheville. 

    Spent the night watching Kevin Costner's 150 anniversary of Yellowstone, all four episodes.  Warm, cozy, and enjoyable. It was a very nice Christmas Eve!  Now all we can talk about is a trip to Yellowstone.
