This holiday season, we enjoyed the holiday spirit at Christmas in the Park in San Jose and Union Square in San Francisco.

We shared good time and memories with dear friends and thought about everybody else that could not be there.

We ate some yummy treats, like this chocolate soufflé from Chez Jacqueline.

And we built something beautiful together (though credit for the beauty belongs to Van Gogh).

Wishing for more of those for 2012. Happy New Year!
