We ventured into the big city a few weeks ago to see the "city sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style" for ourselves.
We took in the grand tree in Union Square and we watched the ice skaters. We met up with a friend and ate dinner and some Ghiradelli chocolate (free samples!). We oohed-and-ahhed over the adorable puppies and kittens in Macy's Christmas windows. (We, ahem, didn't mention that the puppies and kittens were there to adopt. Consequently, no one asked to take one -- or seven -- home.) Other visitors to the city were apparently feeling charitable and gave balloons to our girls (someone had given them the balloon, they explained -- they were just "paying it forward"). The girls were thrilled. Not just with the balloons, but with the whole evening.
The grown-ups were happy, too!
And just before heading home, we proved -- once again -- that we are incapable of a photograph in which more than one child is looking anywhere near the camera.
Still, Christmas cheer abounds! We love this season!
