Christmas kick-off

This Thanksgiving weekend certainly did a lot to get us started on Christmas. On Friday, Rob and I baked and decorated the first batch of holiday cookies. Saturday we hosted a festive brunch and received a nice wreath from Jean before going to see White Christmas at the Orpheum (complete with indoor snow, definitely check it out). And last night, Rob and I went down to Union Square at sunset to take our Christmas card photos in front of the giant tree.

Union Square is so fun this time of year. Families from all around the world mingle around the tree and take photos of each other. Girls in pretty coats sit eating cheesecake on the steps, bundled up babies totter around and even the hobos are in a festive mood. It was great spending an hour down there last night.
