Nice winter afternoon for the Magic Pines Sit & Soak. This is my new happy place. 🔥💧

Mazie and I had a nice walk around the cabin loop. I forgot my hat and she was nice enough to borrow me hers. 🌈🤩

We played Escape the Room: Secret of Dr. Gravely’s Retreat tonight and had a lot of fun solving the various puzzles. We successfully escaped with 7 minutes remaining on the 120 minute timer! Fun time! 🔓

Tammy likes Christmas Gnomes so I decided to get her one that is near life size.

Santa brought me a lefse shirt! This is a serious Minnesota level up! 🎄🎁🎅

On a movie roll this Christmas with Family Switch tonight. Fairly goofy movie but fun for the family.

If you’d like to “listen along” with our family our Christmas Things playlist on Apple Music is the vibe that we like. Many classics with some more niche add ins. 🎄🎶

Starting Christmas Eve with an amazing cup of Dreamy Melon from the ever amazing Pair Cupworks.

Dreamy Melon! – We’ve sold some pretty great coffees this year, but this one is probably the top. Clean, crisp sucrose sweetness, and fragrant melon flavor – this marvelous flavor is a result of meticulous processing including constant monitoring, temperature control, and finely tuned fermentation.

A truly delightful cup. Very subtle flavor tones. Smooth with very little bite. Would agree on the clean, crisp taste. One of the best coffees I’ve ever had. ☕️
