Christmas in The City
/We went up to San Francisco the two nights before Christmas for our annual family tradition getaway. As Francie says "It was just OUR family the first night then ALL our family the second night!" We had a fun night in Wednesday- Brian took the girls swimming and hot tubbing and we let them watch a movie on the hotel DVR. Thursday though I woke up sick with a flu bug- no fun! But Heff kept the girls entertained - two morning excursions on the cable cars- and we made the most of it. Thursday night was the big family dinner at Sam's- always crazy!! Heff took the girls early to Uncle Jerry's hotel room for the pre-party while I took a nap and then met them out for dinner feeling better. Then the last morning Brian took the girls for another early cable car ride and Grampa was waiting at the top of the hill for his favorite granddaughters and his favorite tradition :) All in all it's always a good pre-party for Christmas!
Lollipops and Christmas movies.. not a bad night
Maisie's pretty happy about it
Dad trying to make the girls laugh on their way to Sam's for dinner
I wonder what he was doing to make them laugh?? ;)
Our favorite Shigo-hand-me-down coats but on the wrong girls- a pretty good sign I was SICK!
My pictures are lacking since I was feeling so crappy but here are the collection of iPhone pics- the best I could do!
