Sledding with Shannyn and Kids

It's been awhile since I've made a big breakfast.

The kids saw me making avocado toast and wanted it too.

Hey lookie, the dining room is finally done.

After sanding the hallway wallpaper off all morning I decided to tag along.

We hadn't seen Shannyn and the kids in forever.

May be almost 36, but sledding never gets old.

I got back to removing all of the wallpaper and backing. Dust was made.

Chicago Chrismukkah + Michigander Xmas

Before heading out on our trip we let the kids open their Christmas gifts from us. A knitted sweater for Theo and a kitty dress for Meadow (I fixed the straps for her) both made by me. I wanna a sweater. Scott got them new compact sleeping bags. We all got smaller sleeping bags this year and we'll now have a lot more room in our car. This year we had talked about hosting my family at the cottage. Then meeting up in Milwaukee, then meeting in Chicago. But in the end we made stops in Chicago and Lowell this Christmas. We left on a Sunday which was nice to have a few days to prepare. On the way down to Chicago we stopped at our favorite roadside restaurant, Foster Cheese Haus. We had plans to break up our drives so we didn't have to rush like we normally do. We had made it just before the cheese haus was set to close for the winter. Just not enough folks stop here in winter and snowmobile season is becoming shorter and shorter this far so...

I Go to Oregon and They Go to Cottage

I had to get back from Little Chute just to fly out to Oregon for another shoot out there. This was after also doing an overnight shoot in Worthington, MN. Meanwhile, we had left Meadow in Little Chute during the week. Theo and I headed to the cottage to pick her up. Still winter up here. Theo looks so cute in the Stormy Kromer hat. There's still ice on the lake with a few open spots of water.

Sand Dunes State Forest

Out of the blue we decided we needed to go camping. Being only a few days after the fourth we decided to head to a state forest. Most state parks are booked this time of year, so the forests are good alternative. On the way I got really hungry. We found a Culver's and ordered a small feast. Of course I got a blueberry malt and a bacon butterburger. The best of all malt flavors. Brooke and I shared cheese curds since she already ate leftovers.
