It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

This year, I thought it would be fun to take the kids, via BART, to the City, to watch the Embarcadero lights get lit up for Christmas. I know some people don't like riding BART, but my kids and I actually like it.
Here is Nick and Karina, just after fighting over who would get the window.


Amber and I didn't fight, because I am a nice mom and let her sit by the window!



First stop: To pick up the husband at his work!



So, we walked down to the Embarcadero, enjoying the lights of the City at night time. When we arrived, there were ice skaters to watch, but with all the people there, we weren't able to see anything. So, we had dinner instead.



Nick drinking miso soup from a cup!


After walking around a bit, we found a nice spot and watched the fireworks and the buildings get lit up. Afterwards, we explored a little bit more, and took the train back home. It was a fun way to start the Christmas season!
