New York City Christmas Eve...

For Christmas Eve this year the family decided to head into the city to see the Christmas lights, windows, and do some additional shopping before Christmas. It was a beautiful day in New York complete with the sun shining in between buildings. It was not as cold as our Carlo's Bake Shop experience. Here are some pictures of our adventures:
Looked at the famous Macy's windows telling the story of Yes, Virginia.
We went inside Macy's initially get a family picture on Santa's lap but the line was way too long for children over the age of 21. Instead we looked around, but didn't stay long because of all the crowds.Dad and I in Times Square. Instead we went to our families favorite NY store: M&M's World. Is it obvious that we are a candy family from the sitting we are doing? We checked out the Rockefeller Christmas decorations complete with the famous tree. We wanted to try and ice skate for the experience, but being a children of Joni Ward we skipped the line and all the money it would have cost. If only they had coupons.

Coupon????? You are so not fair. I was willing to pay, Graig thought it wasn't worth it because the ice looked like the zambonie hadn't been on it in months. I even found a rink on 41st and you all said NO!!!!!

If it was anything like the ice rinks in London (I only say that because it's my only big-city-skating experience), it wouldn't be worth it.

You forgot the most important event of the day... the world's best hamburgers that we ate...
