Happy Birthday Jennifer!

Joe and I traveled back to the city for Jen's birthday dinner Saturday night at our favorite restaraunt Bocce (in North Beach)! Chances are if you have gone to the city with Joe and I you have gone here. The environment is friendly and fun and the food is good and well-priced! I hope everyone liked it! Happy Birthday to a great sister!
The beautiful Sisters!

Thanksgiving

Joe and I had Thanksgiving with the Forbes family! :) Like always, it was a hoot! If you have ever seen Dan in Real Life, Joe's family is sort of like that. . . hilarious, fun, and REAL. There isnt a bad apple in the bunch. Love you all and thanks for a very memorable Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Table, yes, ONE large long table!

Jaime & Geoff

Pagra!

My First PIE!

Judy and I spent Wednesday baking up a storm of five pies!!! It was so fun, making the crust was my favorite. I am so glad I know how to whip up a pie now ! Thanks for the great lesson Judy.

This is what I made for Joe. . Pagra provided the apples from his backyard :) I don't know if you can see but the crust is made out of little leaf cutouts. Judy bought the crust cutout cutters from Williams and Sonoma. . anyone know if they still sell them?

The Science Center

Joe and I were able to get to San Fran a day early and took a trip to the sciences center with the parents. It was really cool. The aquarium was amazing, had it not been so crowded I could totally sit there and just watch the fishies.

The Living Roof with Judy

What is it with boys and dinosaurs?

Breadscapades!

So I finally got Carla's famous bread recipe and was planning to make it "when I had time," but someone beat me to it! Joe went ahead and made the bread and it came out perfectly!!!! His first time!!! What the? After all of my attempts my breads never came out as good as this loaf did. . . jealousy for his first time perfection is brewing inside me ;p

The Hubs Featured

We all know Joe is about the nicest guy alive, and apparently, not just his family and friends think so. The university asked him to put together a blurb because they would like to feature him on the Engineering website! Great little feature, although, Im thinking we need to send them a better picture!
