On the Fifteenth Day Of Advent We Went To Santa Land

I guess this year Macy's changed the name from "Day In The Life Of An Elf" to "Santa Land".

The thing is they didn't change anything. Just a rename.

We let Meadow walk through on her own. Once in awhile I would bring her back to make sure she saw everything.

Even if it is the same thing every year it's still a great Christmas tradition.

As we were skipping Santa this year it took us a whole 5 minutes to see the whole thing.

Boundary Waters Yurt Camping

Early in the week I found out that we had a chance to stay at a yurt in the Boundary Waters . Hipcamp's an awesome new site that helps you find pretty much any campsite.

Stillwater Waterfall and MN River Valley Hiking

Scott had to take some sunset photos in Stillwater. A fall color aerial 360. I hadn't been there in awhile so we tagged along.

Sushi Sunday Returns

Today I woke up before Scott and surprised him by making big pancakes. I was so excited, but I had to take a quick shower first. He didn't know I was making breakfast and woke up too late. He had to scarf it down before heading to work. I'm not going to complain that Scott had to work on a Sunday again. Yea it sucks, but I need to be more thankful that he has a job. It may not be the best he's had or the worst and the pay isn't phenomenal, but life isn't always fair. Instead of dwelling on the things I don't like I need to be more happy about the things in life that are great. After he left I spent time on-and-off working on this puzzle. It's a lot easier to see the many colors when the suns out. I think I found about 3 more pieces. Then I ordered more seeds online . Last year we figured we had enough, but then we realized we really want to grow kale and chard and popcorn. I know it's a little early to be getting excited abo...
