Christmas in Montana
 December 24 - 31, 2013

Eric enjoyed a week with his family in Montana this Christmas.  I fear the trip turned into more of a "work on the house" trip than a "spend time with family" trip, but they got some great things done on our home.  Plus, he took a great video so that I could get a feel for what it looks like now.  What a treat!

 Larry Casazza clan.  

 

 

 

 Sweet Angie the Christmas Tree Angel
She has topped the Casazza family tree for over 40 years.
Here is her song: 

Sweet Angie, the Christmas tree angel
On the top of the tippy, tippy top of the tree
All dressed up in stardust and tinsel
Have a very, very, merry, merry Christmas, says she
 
  I'd always thought this song was a purely Casazza family
invention but now I learn that this was a real song by the
Andrews sisters.  I love it! 
 
 
Here we have Uncle Eric making an appearance as Santa 
  
   

Video of Dan & Eric's
barn board removal process
This was part of a project Dan & Eric undertook - they decided to remove
some snow-covered boards from the roof of the barn.  Eric's boots kept slipping 
so he decided to do it barefoot - on a metal roof in the cold.  But wait, there's 
more!  Check out the link to a video at right to see the rest of the story.
   

 

A great view of our new home - it's really happening! 

 
 

This is the view out of Eric's loft office, looking toward Costich Lake, which was frozen to about 18 inches thick.  

  

This is the view from my office.  I don't know, do you think I have enough windows?!  

 
   
   
 
 This is the view from the dining room window  Living room view
   
   
   
 The view from my office again, but after the windows were installed.
