"New York at Christmas"

We can honestly say there is nothing like New York at Christmas!! We spent a wonderful 24-hours in the city enjoying all sorts of holiday fun.


William told us he wanted to take a picture with a Rockette... so we did!!  This was our first time seeing the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.  William summed it up in one word... WOW!!  He was so focused on the performance... dancing, clapping... he couldn't sit down!! 




After the show, William rode in his first taxi to Carmine's for dinner.  He was smiling and staring outside throughout the entire ride.  In this shot, he didn't want to take his eyes off the lights or the ride!




At Carmine's... William told us he was drinking "apple juice on the rocks"!! 

We planned to go to the Rockefeller Center tree lighting... but it was raining.  So, we headed back to the hotel, grabbed a couple of lattes from Starbucks, and watched on TV.  William fell asleep just as they lit the tree!






The next morning we headed to FAO Schwartz after the Apple Store... both my boys wanted to look at toys!




William loved, loved, loved playing on the Big Piano!!  He even practiced his baseball slides!





After a quick stop at the FDNY Fire Zone so William could drive the fire truck, we had to see the tree!!

What a wonderful start to the season!!
