Christmas in NYC

Pippi and Alette pose by the nutcrackers.

Abria's kept awake by the bustle of crowds and holiday window displays.

At the beginning of our day, Alette waits for the Riverline (or, as she likes to call it 'her' train).

There is nothing like the holiday season in New York. We met up with Grandmom, Anne,Marna and Pippi for a great day in the city. The girls were delighted to see each other-giggling and being as silly as possible. After riding on the Riverline, the NJtransit train, and the NY subway, going through FAO Schwartz, past the windows at Saks, to the tree at Rockefeller Plaza, Alette said her favorite part of New York was 'my sandwich and chocolate milk'. I sometimes forget how easy it is to please a toddler. Abria stayed awake for the whole trip also, clearly she didn't want to miss any of the holiday fun. We're hoping this becomes an annual holiday tradition!
