Christmas

December 24th, 2007

Grant arrives at 1:36 AM!! Ouch. But Laura was pretty glad to see him I think, despite the ungodly hour.



The day was spent mostly recovering from the Paris trip, doing laundry and buying up enough food for a few days of feasting since the shops closed around 2:00 on Dec 24th and didn't open again until the 27th.

We had a great dinner at Vogelbräu (no pictures, oops!) where we tried their unfiltered beer and had lots of German specialties.
