Lots of merrymaking in NYC

We've been having a very holly, jolly time this yuletide season here in New York. Kate is actually trying to break records for most holiday activities enjoyed. My hope is that all this merrymaking doesn't wear down the kids' appreciation for the holidays or, god forbid, Santa (this is called Claustrophobia, I'm told).

Here is a partial list of our activities so far:

Fort Hamilton Christmas Tree Lighting and Children's Party (Dec. 6)

Visiting the North Pole (Macy's) to see Santa (Dec. 8)



This is the best of many shots. Henry was too excited to smile like a normal child. In other news, I found out that Santa speaks North Polish (in addition to all the other languages Christians speak)
We stopped by to see a few nicely decorated store windows
Sledding after our first substantial snowfall (Dec. 10)


Dyker Heights Christmas Lights (Dec. 13)


New York City Botanical Gardens for their Holiday Train Show (Dec. 14)





We experienced a mild snowstorm this day, making life more festive looking


Taking a holiday walk through the neighborhood, including stopping by the North Pole to write letters to Santa and see a Nativity play (Dec. 14)

Holiday cookie making (Dec. 15)





A holiday walk through Manhattan, including Central Park, Rockefeller Plaza, and, of course, Koreatown (Dec. 17)




E's holiday pajama party at school (Dec. 18)

Enjoyed my visit and Dyker Heights is amazing. But next year I have to get to that train show. Kate is not the only one that likes miniature.
