Holidays in the Bay

We're back from spending a week with Andrew's parents in San Jose. We flew in Christmas Eve morning, and promptly grabbed our first bite of In 'N Out. We ate Swedish food that night, opened gifts, and enjoyed a mix of yummy cookies. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of our Christmas Eve night because much of it was spent controlling the chaos. Makayla wanted to open everybody's presents but her own, and Joshua found it more fun to run around the house screaming and throwing the wrapping paper everywhere.


Joshua's new train set...he's in love!

On Christmas, we went through our stockings in the morning, and enjoyed a nice brunch. We took a walk to Starbucks, watched a little Planes (one of Joshua's gifts), and then enjoyed another wonderful meal and more dessert. Again, I have no pictures...oops...

The day after Christmas, Andrew and I left for a night in San Francisco. It kind of served as a little anniversary getaway, as well as one last hurrah before baby comes in April. We ate, shopped, walked, ate some more, walked some more, ate a lot more, and it was WONDERFUL! We caught a movie on the drive home, and then met Andrew's parents for a nice dinner to celebrate their anniversary. Joshua and Grandpa rode the train to dinner, which was a trip highlight for him. Overall, those 24 hours were most definitely the highlight of my vacation!

Beyond those fun things, we visited Christmas in the Park in downtown San Jose:
