I spelled holiday wrong- sorry!!

We love hoilday time in NYC





We had such a wonderful weekend- we went to Santaland at Macy's in Herald Square and continued on to all the other "sights". Zoe and Jordyn both seemed to enjoy it.We went to the Toy R Us in Times Square but the line was insane. We promised Jordyn we would come back after the holidays. This ferris wheel is one of her favorite places. We also went into the M&M store ( so cute) and made a few purchases. We continued on to Rockerfeller Center and saw the tree and the ice skaters. ( I have very fond memories of skating there and cannot wait to take Jordyn and Zoe when they are a little older). We stopped into a shop called La Maison Du Chocolat- it's right in the Promenade. They have the best hot chocolate-ever!! We paid $8 for it, but it was worth every penny!! We got the semi-sweet in case anyone is thinking of stopping in. Dave told me to pick something out but when truffles were $70 a lb. I decided on a small chocolate bar. Believe me, I'm very happy with my purchase.

I love walking around NYC during the holiday season. It's so much fun to watch everyone with their families taking in all the sights. I also love watching it through our own children. I love seeing Jordyn become so excited by all the cool window displays and decorations.

She is off and running!!!!





Life is about to get a little more interesting. Zoe has been standing and cruising all over the place. Last night she took about 10 steps in a row and has been walking all over now. It's not that we aren't excited, we just liked knowing she wasn't able to get away too quickly. Jordyn has had nothing but words of encouragement for her sister.

Today I tried to dress the girls up after school for a holiday card. As you can see from the photos, it didn't go so well. They did have fun dancing around. I'll try again later- it really is almost impossible to get the two of them to look at the camera and smile at the same time.
