It's Christmastime again in San Francisco!

I am giggling to myself at the title of my post...it's the name of a BAD, yet strangely catchy Christmas song I heard a little too often on the radio last December. ;)

On the weekend, we took Nancy into the city to look around Union Square. There's tons of fun (and expensive!) shopping there, and the holiday decorations put you in the Christmas spirit!

Sadly, I couldn't convince Steve or Nancy that I *needed* a Tiffany's keyfob...but I did do some shopping for someone at Bloomingdales! A store where my budget really doesn't even allow me to step into on a regular basis. Hope she likes it! :)

Carter always BEGS to hop on the cable cars. Lucky this one was stopped, and the driver told him to hop right up!Since we were at Macy's, we decided to let Carter go see Santa (last year when we went to that one, the line was insane...but it wasn't too bad). We did get his photo taken with Santa, but Nancy snapped this one of Carter telling Santa what he wanted - a penguin (stuffed from Toy Story), a Christmas bell (like the one in the Polar Express), Geotrax, and a book about a boy and his cat! LOL. He's pretty specific! Good thing Santa has been shopping ;)

Union Square from Macy's

Hard to tell, but Steve, Carter, and I are standing in the star outside Macy's

The ginormous tree inside Neiman Marcus. I'd love to see how they get this up in here. The space is SMALL!

The tree from the outside

Nancy outside Macy's - each window has it's own wreath in it!

Checking out the display window in Macy's - they have puppies and kittens!
