Getting ready to go!
Brandon was seated next to this BIG MAN....so sweet Hannah took his spot for him!
All bundled up for our first night on the town.
Our room.
The "tree" at Rockefeller Center.
Brandon and the girls looking in "awe" at the fish stand in China Town.
The first night, we met Mike and Sandra (friends and clients of ours) in "Little Italy." We had the best italian dinner and did a little street shopping. The girls had never seen such a thing. I think they were a little nervous when we started bargaining with prices. Then they quickly got the hang of it and thought it was a very fun game.
Saturday, we went to a place called "Smac." Hannah and Brandon had seen it on the food network and put it on our list as a "must try." It was seriously AWESOME. You could create your own skillet of mac and cheese, it was so gooey and delicious. Hannah was in HEAVEN.
My mouth is still watering. Yummy.
The girls got an early Christmas gift. Of course, an AMERICAN GIRL DOLL. Hannah picked "Kit," and Addie picked a "just like me" doll.
This is Addie trying her first....ROASTED CHESTNUT. I absolutely love them, she thought they tasted like a HOT DOG.
St. Patricks Cathedral
UHHHHHHH...need I say more???? Love it, love it, love it. Can't afford it, afford it, afford it. Let's just take a minute to look at it's beauty....Ahhhhhh.
Brandon and I in front of another beautiful church.
The girls thought the street dancers were sooo cool.
Precious
Elmo and the girls.
We wanted to try food that we normally can't get at home. So one night we had CAJUN FOOD. Addie, went to town on these crawfish!
One night at like 10p.m we decided to go to the Ripley's Believe it or Not museum. We had a blast...they had so many cool displays. We got some good laughs with this one.
Sunday, we met Mike and his kids for the Rockette's Christmas show.
Of course Mike got the tickets and we were on the sixth row. The show was so good and such a great way to kick off the holidays!
We ended the trip with a visit to our favorite...."Stage Deli." We had huge sandwiches, pickles, egg creme' drinks, and of course...cheesecake!
There was a whole "Charmin" building where you could use the restrooms. Inside, you could go on a toilet paper slide and swing after you used the potty. It was hilarious.
Bree, Natalie, and I made these stars for some friends and family members.
They were kind of time consuming...but they turned out totally cute! These are the three that I made.
Chance: mortified because he had to wear a rudolph nose
Addie: happy as usual
Griffin (cousin): too cool for a singing performance
Hannah: a thespian in the making...holy cow, she takes these things very seriously
8 shows I watch...
Hannah and Chance's snowman...."FROSTY"
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE OUT OUR FRONT DOOR. I LOVE THE SNOW WHEN IT FIRST FALLS...ALL CLEAN AND WHITE. 
Chance...is obsessed with "Popeye" right now. He found this pipe for the snowman, and ran around with it in his mouth all afternoon. Oh, what the neighbors must think!!!!
