Merry Christmas!



What an exciting week I've had. The girls came up to visit and we've been having so much fun! We've gone to see a show, saw the tree walked through Central Park, attended church (to hear Erin and me sing in the choir) shopping, eating, where does it all end? This is my last blog before I leave New York for a week. I will be home visiting family and friends in California. I can't wait to see everyone. I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday. God Bless!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

A celebratory dinner after decorating our tree. That's Sparkling Cider... not Champagne!
Erin and Rachel outside Radio City Music Hall (Waiting on line)
The World Famous Rockettes...

What better place to be than New York City for the holidays? There is so much to see. I don't know how I am going to do it all before I go home. But I think I am off to a fantastic start. Just roaming the streets you can feel the Christmas-ness in the air. Lights, and wreaths, shoppers, window displays! I can't even begin to tell you about the amazing window displays. Macy's and Lord and Taylor put so much work into these brilliant window displays. There is me at one at Macy's- kind of blurry though.
We were also lucky enought to get free tickets to see none other than the world famous Rockettes!! The show was absolutely amazing- as you might imagine. It really brought in the holiday spirit :) And Radio City Music Hall was just gorgeous inside.
I plan to do many more NYC holiday activites, when "the girls" (Ash, Shan, and Britt) arrive tomorrow. So, until then...

Happy Thanksgiving!






I've had the best Thanksgiving Holiday. I went to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!! I seriously watch it on T.V. every year, but there was something about seeing it in person. It was freezing and raining though. We were soaked and numb but we didn't care! Then we went to New Jersey to have Thanksgiving dinner at Rachel's Grandparent's house. It was really nice.
Friday my parents came up! I went with them to stay in Connecticut for the weekend at this beautiful resort. We had a really nice time. I am so thankful this time of year for friends and family. What a wonderful year it has been!
