Christmas in New York City!!



Last weekend "we passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest,
through the sea of swirly , twirly gum drops, and then walked through the
Lincoln Tunnel" until we arrived in the Big Apple, NEW YORK CITY.
The city is great during Christmas time. 
Our first stop was Macy's to see the REAL Santa, and NO he did not smell like beef and cheese.
Of course we went into the heart of the city, Times Square.
The boys favorite spot here was, take a guess, yes, TOYS R US!
They road the ferris wheel; which is inside the the toy store.  LOVED IT!!
We stopped by to see where Buddy's dad worked, The Empire State Building.
We walked down to Central Park to let the boys play. 
They loved the big rocks!
We saw the Rockerfeller Center Tree, FOA Shawlt,
store window displays and Good Morning America.

We finished our day off with a slice of New York Pizza.

Christmas Snow


We were so excited last Saturday when it started to snow.  Wow, snow before Christmas !!
We learned really quick that we were not prepared for this cold weather. 
After about 30 minutes of play we all were wet and COLD!!
So we headed off to the thrift store to find snow necessities, snow boots, snow outfits, coats, snow gloves, hats!
We got it all!! So with all our new snow clothes we headed back out!
We had a blast !  Snow sledding, making snow balls and just playing.
We are really crossing our fingers for snow on Christmas day!
We might have a white Christmas!!

Happy 14th Birthday Trent!!!!
