Oh, Christmas Tree

Yesterday, we took a drive out to Long Island to pick out our Christmas tree. The kids had a blast running up and down the rows and rows of trees. Finally, Kailer picked out the perfect tree and we had them cut it down and load it onto our car.






Addie was not as fond of Santa as Kailer was.

The Rockefeller Tree Lighting
My friend, Stephanie, and I headed to Manhattan last night to watch the lighting of the tree in Rockefeller Plaza. We knew there would be mobs of people, but, hey, we live in New York. . . what's new. As we got closer to the Plaza, we hit barricaded streets, lots of police, and more than mobs of people. We couldn't get anywhere even close to the tree- we couldn't even catch a glimpse of a single light. So. . . we did the next best thing- DESSERT! Serendipity III has the most enormous and delicious desserts that I've had in the city so far. And Stephanie and I enjoyed as much as we possibly could!

my little monkey
My friend, Sophia made this darling blanket & hat for Colby. It has the cutest little monkeys on it. She is so talented!
Addie thought she looked pretty cute in it, too.

Colby has 2 adorable dimples on his left cheek. He's smiling all the time now, especially at his big brother and sister.

Happy Thanksgiving
Michael's parents were out visiting this week, so we were able to enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving meal (cooked by my mother-in-law) with them. Kailer and Addie had a great time with their Grammy & Grampy.


Saturday night we joined them in the city to celebrate Mary Lynne's 50th birthday. We ate at the View restaurant- it revolves while you eat so you can get a 360 view of Manhattan.

Tuesday night we went to see the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall with the rockettes. It was an amazing show- the kids loved it!
