Misty Christmas

(matt again as the picture downloading is bullshite)

Our good friend and Rudy's nanny from Bainbridge, Misty, came out for Christmas this year. Too bad her bags decided not to make it. With all of the bad weather in Europe and Air France being, well, French, Misty was here for a week and never once saw her bag (which included all of Rudy's presents). We did fine, though, and still had a really good week showing her around the city and laughing and eating and everyone getting sick thanks to Rudy.

Here are some shots of the weekend. Misty, it was great having you out here. Thanks for coming and for showing Roo a good time.

The Misty and Roo reunion begins...

Took Misty up to the Christmas Markets and introduced her to Gluvine!!

Rudy insisted on eating every meal on Misty's lap the entire time she was here.

Decorating the tree (yes, it's in a flowerpot).

Huge amounts of snow all week kept us from getting out into the countryside,

but we bundled up and hiked into town about every day.

Oh you're kidding me, man. Really, you're doing this? Really?

Misty of course is able to calm Rudy down and explain to him that his day

is about to get a lot better.

Opening a talking (Grampa's voice) Frosty the Snowman book. A big hit in our house, esp the

part where dad mutters "What a dumbass story this is " as he was turning the page. Yeah, it was recording then, too, Dad.

Gift of the year. Good job mom, i mean Santa.
