Christmas by the Bay

This year we decide to start a new family tradition and go up to San Francisco to check out the beautiful Christmas lights and decorations. It definitely helped us get in the Christmas spirit and we had a lot of fun!

We started off with a trip to Union Square to check out the decorations at Macys and see the big Christmas tree.


The Macys windows were nothing like the ones in NYC, but it was fun to see the little puppies and kittens that they are trying to find homes for... and the window decorations were very unique.

Next we headed to Ghirardelli Square to check out the Christmas decorations and tree and introduce Andrew to a delicious chocolate fudge ice cream sundae.


Waiting patiently for our sundae


mmm... looks GOOD!


Excited to dig in!

It was the perfect night and a great new family tradition to start! Andrew was such a super kid and had so much fun flirting with all the ladies he met at Ghirardelli... and then he slept the whole ride home! I already can't wait for next year's trip!

What a fun tradition to start! The look on Andrew's face as he is staring at the ice cream sundae is priceless. He just knew it would be that good! So cute. Union Square looks so pretty too. Maybe I'll put it on our list of things to do.
