Enjoying a Christmas gift

This year for Christmas I got Kristin two tickets for the Jim Gaffigan concert in Milwaukee.  If you've never seen this comedian, check him out at the link below...he's hilarious!

Anyway, we made a day of it, going early to visit the Comet cafe (featured on Diners, drive-ins, and dives), 

then wandered around the beautiful Pabst theater before the show...

and finally stopped for famous Kopps custard on the way home.

And on the way, we even had a fun odometer moment!

    What a wonderful day!

Possible pet?

We met this beauty today and loved her, but she's quite a runner and we were worried about losing her in our wooded neighborhood so we've left her for the next loving family. Is that you? Call for more info!

Winners!

Inside fun!

In the woods...

After the celebration, we go to the woods...

Christmas Fun!

Here are a few shots of our fun with Bobbie and Becky in Laona...

Christmas in Laona!

Warm feelings.

Wonderful family.

 

Generous giving.  

Much laughter.

The news is spreading!

More and more of our woodland friends are finding out about the bounty Frank provides at our feeder each night...

We got caned!

I don't know whether to be annoyed or proud...annoyed because we didn't catch the perpetrators or proud because the mantle has been passed.  Either way, the canes are a beautiful addition to our decorations!

More midnight visitors

The feeding trough is a popular place these days!

Fun times!

We made it home, but stopped for lunch with the cuz on the way home...too bad they don't enjoy each other!

New career choices?

One of our favorite features of the science museum was the opportunity to take a shot at being a news anchor.  After viewing this video, I think you'll agree that both of these starlets should think about changing their majors to broadcast communications!

Science museum!

Kristin and her friend Anna and I enjoyed a wonderful day together as we visited the St Paul Science Museum.

Afton State Park

While Kristin slept in a bit this morning I got to take a nice hike at a nearby state park...beautiful hikes along the river...

Fun with Kristin!

Kristin invited me to spend a day or so with her before her last final so I accepted!  I am getting to meet some of her friends and I'm sure there will be more to follow...
