Thanksgiving Weekend

I can't believe Thanksgiving has come and gone now. This means that Christmas is officially in full gear. We're still waiting for our tree to arrive and Charlotte is getting a bit restless. I'm a bit restless too, especially since everyone seems to have their tree up except for us. 
 
Before the festivities, we had some fun at home. 

 Char is happy about "her" two big stuffed animals

 Our baby announcement with Baby Margaret wearing a Princess Leia beanie

 Nutcracker tea party

 Mommy & Charlotte tea party

 Decorating our sliding door with Christmas stuff

 Thanksgiving lunch

Since the kids are old enough and can sit through anything as well as feed themselves, we decided to indulge in Fogo de Chao to start off our Thanksgiving break. Plus, kids are free (so why not?!). We figure we should enjoy this time before baby comes and we have to reset on life.

Found our way into Cocola
 
 
Right after Thanksgiving, we headed up for a 24 hour mini vacay in SSF. A part of me wishes we hadn't done that and just took it easy at home with Black Friday shopping. Well, the kids had fun. On the way to school this morning, Lucas told me how he misses Embassay Suites and wants their breakfast again. He also wants to take a bath there.
 
 Christmas in San Francisco

 Spent way too much time waiting for the tree at Union Square to light up

Well, that sums up Thanksgiving weekend. Next up - December and all things Christmas!

More Weekend Shinnanigans

Wow! Thanksgiving is next week! And yes, once again I've been slacking off on updating on a weekly basis.

 How I want to spend my entire weekend...

 Special time with my special boy

We're preparing for Baby Girl to arrive in roughly four months. That still seems like a long time coming, but we are slowly making our plans. Dan and I decided to spend some quality one-on-one time with each child to get to know them more and to prep them for baby.

 Veteran's Day

 Packing our OCC boxes

 Friday steak night!

I usually have Sunday steak night, but since there was no school on Friday... why not?! Porterhouse FTW!

Typical Saturday morning breakfast

What happens before Saturday morning breakfast
 Surprise fire truck visit

We usually go to Home Depot on the first Saturday of each month to build something. On this particular Saturday morning, some firemen parked their fire engine and let kids roam around the inside of it. It turns out that they went to Starbucks for a drink, noticed that there was a Home Depot kids' workshop, and parked their car to spend some time with the kids.

 Walking around Levi's Stadium

Sort of cool holiday shot?

Since the Niners are doing so crummy nowadays, they are giving away things left and right! Since we're season ticket holders, we got to get a free holiday photo at Levi's Stadium. It was a fun and free experience.
