We decided to take a little family vacation a couple of days before Christmas to New York. We only live a few hours away and we wanted to do all of the Christmas things in the city. It was probably one of the most exhausting trips we have been on, but we had so much fun and we were all sad to see it come to an end. The weather we was unusually warm which made the trip even better. When we got in the city Ned and I loved it immediately it made us miss Chicago so much, we really love the city.
The first day we are drove to Connecticut and caught a train into the city. Which was probably Lucas favorite part.
Once we landed in Grand Central Station we got a taxi and headed to the hotel. Lucas loved riding in the taxi as well as Penny, she laughed the whole time. After we got settled in the hotel we headed out to Times Square. Along the way we stopped at a bakery call "Baked by Melissa" so of course we had to go in. The cupcakes were tiny and too cute. After our treats we made it to Times Square and we stopped at Toys R Us and the Disney store. Toys R Us was amazing the displays were great and they even had a ferris wheel inside. When we entered the Disney Store we asked a sales associate where the bathroom was and she responded "follow the pixy dust trail" it was magical.

| Penny was obsessed with this dinosaur every time we walked past it she made the cutest roaring sound. |
After Times Square we headed to Rockefeller Center to see the tree, see the windows at Saks Fifth Ave, and shop the Lego store.

ahh this looks like SO much fun! And I can't believe how close you got to the tree! There were millions of people when we were there, we didn't even dare try to get close. So jealous that you got to see the ice rink
