Let the Holiday Season Begin!

Last night we all enjoyed an annual Alameda holiday tradition -- the lighted boat parade. The parade took place in the estuary between Alameda and Oakland and we watched all sorts of beautiful boats cruise past. Every time a new boat came around the corner, Henry would shout, "Mommy! Mommy!" and point excitedly.

My East-coast friends will laugh to see the gear the boys were dressed in. It was only 50 degrees, but that seemed frigid to us. It's amazing how quickly your body adjusts to a different climate.

In any case, we were all happy to kick off the holiday season, and we look forward to a weekend full of Hanukkah activities next week.

Max looks great in his new jacket and Henry in his. I'm coming for some of that beef vegie soup you made. Yum.

They look so cute and cozy. You know how I have always been about "wearing your coats!!"
