And they came bearing gifts! They were too excited about the toys they brought that Bee got to open their gifts BEFORE Christmas. Which taught Josh and I a very helpful lesson: Gifts before bed= a very wired baby who only wants to play when you only want to sleep. So, Christmas gifts are going to be drawn out this year!
We went to the Oakland Zoo, where Bee was fascinated by the elephants, we admired the giraffes and tigers, Josh pretended to be a turtle, and I saw an alligator that I thought was fake. Turned out, it wasn't. We went back that night to see all the Christmas lights and it was magical!
The next day we went to San Francisco and were delighted with Chinatown and lots of stores. Next time, we'll bring the smaller stroller! Sadly we forgot to bring our camera, so believe me when I tell you, San Francisco is a wonderful place to explore and find treasures in. We will most definitely be going back, there is just too much to see all in one day.
We were sad to see Dad and Carrie leave, especially Bee, who grunted and refused to go to bed that night! HAHA. I think they must have made an impression with her, because these last two days have been grumpy, cranky days where she could only be thinking: "Grandma and Grandpa left me with these two people? Where are my fans? Why am I not being doted on every second?"
Thanks for visiting and spoiling the three of us! We love you!
Love it. So glad Norm and Carrie got to visit. Leslie, you are a WRITER!
