23 days till Christmas!

We had a really nice, relaxed, long weekend:

On Thursday, Christian and Evaly had invited us over for Thanksgiving dinner. They served a killer beef roast and we finally had the opportunity to meet Hannah and Harper, Christian and Evaly's 4 months old twins.

On Friday, Ed and Jay tried their luck playing Blackjack, while I was cozy and creative at home.

Saturday afternoon we went for a walk along the coast and watched the fairly high waves. The weather was beautiful -- much too warm for the time of year, but we're certainly not complaining!

Saturday night we wandered around downtown San Francisco and admired the Christmas lights and window decoration. We had planned to go ice skating on Union Square, but the line was so long that we decided to reschedule it for another night. Sipping hot chocolate, we stared at the Christmas tree and walked home along Castro Street a little later.

Our Sunday was quiet and homely, and we concluded this long Thanksgiving weekend well-rested and in tune with this year's holiday season. We're looking forward to Christmas!
