Christmas Festivities

Christmas has been in full swing all of December and we've managed to capture a few pictures of some of the fun. Our advent calendar is nearly all open and we're giddy with excitement! Merry Christmas to all!!
Course one and two for our annual Christmas meal with Doris & Mickey are pictured above. Matt did an outstanding job with pea puree, scallops and bacon as an appetizer, braised short ribs w/red wine reduction, cheddar and sun dried tomato polenta, and asparagus as the main course. Dessert was bread pudding with bananas foster and a smidge of ice cream. That guy is so talented and continues to outdo himself! Pretty sure we all gained a few that night but it was well worth it.
Broncos Alumni Christmas party - so fun!
An old fashioned Georgetown Christmas - where it was basically freezing... but we did get to meet Dancer, so it was worth it.
The cookie exchange was a treat of course and we mixed it up this year by making Ginger bread houses (and town houses). Good times!

Enjoyed Christmas Season photos.
The dinner prepared by Chef Matt looks marvelous. Holiday visit with
Dancer and family looks fun. And
the gingerbread houses, great. Which one is yours?
Looks like you are having a great time.

Grandma - my house is the tall thin one second from the right. Thought we'd mix it up a bit.

Merry Christmas!
