On The Fifteenth Day Of Advent We Lounged Around in Little Chute

Not really a Christmas activity, but we got to spend time with my family who we won't get to see on Christmas.

Meadow wore her "My Mom my Loves Me" sleeper.

Long story.

Oh I guess we got to watch Blake open his stocking.

Momma Gail or G.G. or whatever she's called this week got to see a lot of little Meadow bear. She loves to smile at her grandparents.

We had waffles for breakfast.

Thanks Mr. Mike.

Meadow watched us eat in her chair again.

Blake left us to go back to Duluth.

Meadow played with Agua all day long.

Scott and I were sick of all the random crap in my parents fridge and decided to clean it out for them.

We forgot to take an after picture.

Scott made his famous spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.

I told Brooke to play with her angel hair pasta.

Meadow chewed on toys.

Brooke went shopping with Momma Gail. Mr. Mike and I watched a very grumpy Meadow for the remainder of the day.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast. Scott added granola to his oatmeal. The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it. Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof. Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

Back to the BWCA - Red Rock to American Point via Voyageur Canoe Outfitters

The kickoff to our Boundary Waters trip started with a cookout in Duluth. Right along the rocky shores of east Duluth. Burgers and playing in Lake Superior, what could be better for this little bub. We camped at Jay Cooke state park for the night, then drove back to Duluth for some Duluth Grill breakfast. Had we known that we were meeting with Blake and Daniel on the far side of Duluth, we'd have stayed in Two Harbors. But I guess it worked out. Duluth Grill is still delicious. Meadow is now in her, "Why are you taking photos of me" phase. We had some time before getting to Voyageur Canoe Outfitters so stopped in Grand Marais.

2 Weddings and a Blacksmith

I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Not from scratch this time, but from a can I found in the fridge. I needed as much room as possible in the fridge to hold the wedding cakes so we were trying to eat everything in there. I tried to sleep in, but Brooke really wanted to get vacation going. I think we ended up eating the entire tube of cinnamon rolls. This must be another Romenesko tradition akin to eating six corn on the cobs at one sitting.
