Only 2 weekends till Christmas!!!!

Only 2 weekends till Christmas!!!!

Yikes Christmas is creeping up on us! We have not really finished shopping nor are we in the mood to do so. I am going to get to it I swear!! In the meantime I am having fun partaking in lots of Christmas type activities!

This weekend was a good one. Saturday I drove to Stockton to see Chris, Julie, and the two cutest girls I know! The plan for the day was gingerbread houses, and a photo shoot. The gingerbread house went over really really well! The photo shoot umm not so much. Ivy didn't feel up to the model shoot, no matter how cute she is she wasn't having it. She did tolerate us for a while before completely giving up. Malia on the other hand has been watching some America's Next Top Model, because when we told them we were going to do a photo shoot she said she didn't see any blankets up (like the sheets they use for backdrops) :). Too cute. I had a wonderful time playing and visiting!! The gingerbread houses were a lot of fun to make. After the drive back from Stockton I went to see my Dad with Keith. Then Devyn came over and we went to dinner and to have a drink.

The place we went for dinner was a new place in Walnut Creek called the San Franciscan. It was interesting place. It was as if it wanted to be fancy and really casual at the same time. As Devyn said "This place perplexes me". First off the place settings are really nice, but then the menu they give you is 8 1/2x11 20# White Copy Paper. Not even nice copy paper. The food was pretty good, the drinks were good....the ambiance was off. SO after that we headed over to Spoontronix for a drink. It is a little hole in the wall place, but it has a young funky vibe that is nice about it. We were both tired and headed home after that.

Sunday I had an appointment in San Francisco at 10:00 am that I was sort of dreading. It was in a part of the city that parking is not very easy, and I don't like to be late or having to drive for 20 minutes to find parking. So Keith was nice enough to come with so he could drop me off, find parking and read a paper till I was done. When I was done we decided to grab breakfast since we were in the city anyways. Then on the way back home we stopped off at Bay Street shops to walk around and go to Tea Cake Bakery. We grabbed some cupcakes and a couple cookies, this place is REALLY good I think you should all go. After that we headed home to watch the end of the niners game ....if I would have known it was going to end the way it did I think I would have stayed at Bay Street!!

Here are some pictures of the lovely weekend....

The drive from my house to Stockton, it is so pretty and weird that you can drive 30 mins. and feel like you are in another state.
