For Christmas we drove up to NYC to spend it with my sister Allison and my dad. Her roommates were gone, so we all crammed into her apartment. It was cozy! And a lot of fun. We didn't take many pictures on the camera; we mostly took them on our phones. I haven't gotten them off my phone, so these are the photos I have to share. If I can figure out how to get more, I'll share them too.
We had such a great time. The weather was pretty good, and Allison took us to some great restaurants. I took the girls to lunch at the American Girl Doll store, we saw the Rockefeller tree, the Empire State Building all lit up, and wandered around Central Park. Allison lives right next to the park, and when the sun came out on Christmas morning we all went ice skating in the park. It was a blast. Everyone was happy, no one fell, there was fun music playing, the sun was shining!
The day after Christmas we drove up to Connecticut to visit our friends the Larsons, who moved up their after their residency here. Andrea is one of my best friends, and we were all so happy to see each other again.
One of the highlights of the trip was when Jason, Allison and I took the big girls to see the play Cinderella. It was so magical! The music was great, and it was just fantastic. We have the album now, and we've listened to it pretty much non stop since Christmas.
Allison got the big girls matching pajamas with their dolls, and for Caroline she got red pajamas and Grinch sweater.
Caroline used the back of her wrapping paper to color on.
We visited the American Museum of Natural History, which was awesome. The girls have been watching a show called Wild Kratz, which is about two zoologist brothers who turn into cartoons and study animals. They were super excited to know what all the animals were.
They're touching a real dinosaur bone! Can't you sense Savannah's excitement!
