December Fun!

We had our tree picked out and up before December 1st this year!
The Griswald/Lisi house lights:)
Mason and his best kindergarten friend, Ko. We found out on Weds. that Ko was moving back to Japan immediately. Ko was the bright light in Mason's life during his earlier kindergarten adjustment problems. The two of them lit up at the sight of each other. We both shed tears over Ko's departure but will be emailing and skyping to keep in touch. We even hope that Ko may return sometime next year.
Paris and her Brownie troop walked in the Parade of Lights at Broadway Plaza on Thursday.



Paris and Madi in front of the big X-mas tree.

They had live music and it "snowed" in front of Nordstroms. The girls were in heaven!!
They even had free horse carriage rides.
Yesterday was the Girls on the Run Lolipop 5K run in Golden Gate Park. Here is Paris and Lily getting into the spirit before the race started.



The start of the race was clogged up with 1200 racers.
Posing in front of a waterfall midway thru the race.

Afterward we met our good friends in Union Square, S.F. to have lunch and shop around. Here are the silly girls copying the "hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil."

Macys had a place to write and mail letters to Santa.
The City was decorated beautifully - here are Caitlyn, Paris and Madi in front of Macys.

Huge X-mas tree in Union Square.
Look closely at this street performer. He was fascinating and scary at the same time.

Your front yard looks amazing, this is helping get me into the holiday spirit! Love the girls' colored hair spray, and how fun that you went into the City. Hope Mason isn't too sad about his friend going away..
