The day after Thanksgiving, Rob, Olive and I hopped in our overly packed car and drove up to San Francisco. This is our third year doing this. It's our family tradition of kicking off the holidays in our favorite city. That night we watched the Macy's annual Christmas Tree Lighting in Union Square from the 21st floor of our hotel then went down and saw it up close.
Me and my Sue
Olive and I at the Aquarium of the Bay at Pier 39. She was a little weary of the fish swimming all around her.
"No down, mommy. Shishies too big."
My FAVORITE pizza place, ZA Pizza. It is hands down, the best pizza I have ever had. We ate there 3 times.
Then it was off to Kasey's house where we bounced on her trampoline, ate the yummiest burritos from Rincon, and had a quaint little campfire outside where we roasted marshmallows for s'mores. I think I ate about 5.
The next morning, we all got back in our cars and Kasey and the boys headed home with us. It was great. I love seeing the kids have so much fun together- o.k. maybe Riley wasn't having so much fun in this picture....
The day after that we all spent the day at Disneyland! Both parks are decorated so beautifully. We had a blast!
Kasey's favorite ride is the carousel at Disneyland so, we dragged the kids on and forced them to have a good time.
We met Ariel.

Objects (to Ariel's right side, holding Olive) in this photo are NOT as stubby as they appear.
The castle at night.
The day after that we all went to the Seal Beach Pier with my dad, where the kids ran to the Ruby's at the end of the pier in 30 seconds flat....
and had ice cream.
Delicious ice cream.
Super yummy ice cream.
And one more thing....
I'M PREGNANT!
I am 7 weeks pregnant! I have visited my doctor and everything seems to be going well. Rob and I are SO EXCITED and can't wait to make Olive a big sister in July!
* That explains all the countless mentions of food in this post.*
