On the sixth day of Advent St. Nick Came

Yay Meadow's first St. Nick.

Her first stocking was made by Aunt Brittany.

She was excited to chew on everything.

Her first present was a gnome rattle. It must be the year of the gnome.

St. Nick has good taste in books.

She got a new reindeer hat.

It came with her new reindeer emblazoned union suit.

She got an ornament of a girl skiing, a book, a knitted gnome rattle and Christmas pajamas.

I think she likes her new stuff.

I'm not so sure.

We parked across from this rare small pre-1950s building that has somehow survived in downtown Minneapolis's ongoing urban renewal. We decided to eat at La Belle Crepe since I picked up this for our post-wedding breakfast back on that October day. This creperie is...

Honeymoon: Duluth, Minnesota is Not Flooded. Long Live Long-Pong.

When the waitress asked for Blake's ID and he told her he was underage we were kicked out of the Thirsty Pagan. To not miss out on our favorite pizza and beer (and we had a coupon to use up) we ordered food to go. While waiting for our food we walked around the great, but sad city of Superior, Wisc. Heading directly out the door and towards the industrial waterfront this Charlie Brown block was plopped amongst the former industry.

The next morning my mom made biscuits and gravy for breakfast. This year they were unsweetened.
