Merry Christmas To All

Christmas morning.

Look what Santa dropped off at grandma's house.

Cookie day.


This season seemed to fly by for us this year (maybe it was the trip to NYC), but the memories are many. The girls loved all the festivities leading up to the big day. From the lights with friends to the cookies with family, they enjoyed it all. Emma seemed to have more fun this year, considering she was only 9 months last year. She really got into the present opening, which was always followed by squeals of delight. It was indeed a merry Christmas!

New York, New York

Atop the Empire State building.....so very cold.


All of us in front of Lady Liberty.


A Rainy day at Battery Park......still a pretty picture.




A cold day at Central Park.

Another Central Park bridge.



Here are a few from our trip to NY. It was absolutely fabulous, I had sooo much fun. Some of my favorites were Central Park (I could have taken 200 pictures there alone). We went to Serendipity (from the movie) on our last night there, it was awesome. Little Italy was another highlight, with some of the best restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops. We saw the Radio City Rockettes, and walked all night in the freezing rain. Rode the subway, hailed cabs, got honked and yelled at, It was wonderful. It indeed is a city that never sleeps. Hundreds of people in the streets at 2 and 3 in the morning. I am exhausted, have 5 blisters total, but would go back tomorrow.
PS. We did see the "Mac Guy" in the subway and I managed to offend him by screaming out..."hey that's the Dell guy!" Priceless.
All pictures are posted on my Facebook, if interested.

Fun in the Leaves




Enjoying the few fall leaves that we have here. Emma wanted nothing to do with such nonsense, which resulted in a tantrum, followed by a nap. Maybe next year for her!
