Switching to Christmas Gear

This Airbnb even has a nice gate thing guarding the stairs. It's the best.

Lydia wrote that "Ernie had a party hangover the next morning and kept walking to the door and saying "Nana? Baba? Grandad? Sam?""

We checked out Union Station for various Christmas hoopla.

The Train Shed was having a Christmas themed popup.

Peanut Butter and Jolly

Ghirardelli Premium Hot Cocoa, Toasted Marshmallow,

Peanut Butter Drizzle

Union Station is really a gem.

We visited Aunt Sara's house for yet another family gathering.

We hung out at Emily's boyfriend's restaurant Beffa's after hours like real cool kids.

We helped put everything away on our way out.

Our friend Jenna was nearby at Hidden Gem. I had never been here before and liked this place a lot.

I appreciated the disco ball hoarding that they'd embarked on.

I was happy to see that Jenna is still cool and hitting the trendy spots.

St. Louis Party Time

Black Friday is not what it used to be, and I'm not as motivated by hoarding junk either. HOWEVER I was highly motivated by this Life and Trust deal. It's the successor show to Sleep No More which I am obsessed with so I did the deal.

Grandad and Zoe met up with us at the Magic House in St. Louis, MO for some exploratory play.

These little job stations are very cute.

This cereal box transported me back to my working at Ralcorp days.

The bathroom at Sugarfire was fun and Missouri themed.

Side Project Brewing is a highly regarded local brewery so I stopped by and stocked up a bit.

The Airbnb above Southwest Diner is very funky and full of weird art.

We had another little get together with the St. Louis gang.

Copious amounts of food and fun were had by all.
