- Gram Leanne, Grandpa Pete (Ryan's parents) flew in the night before from California to spend the week with us
- We went to Liberty Science Center and Lincoln especially enjoyed the "I Explore" kids area and the animal exhibits
Thursday
- Day began at 530am to get out to the Macy's Parade in NYC
- Staked out front-row spot by 7am; then waited in the FREEZING COLD until the parade came by at 930am. (Note: this is near impossible with a toddler - not recommended!!)
- That said, the parade was AMAZING and well worth it!
Of course, we couldn't wait to see Santa!
Friday
- After being completely exhausted from the parade activities, we decided to postpone Thanksgiving dinner until Friday; which was a great idea! The meal was DELICIOUS and a real group effort - down to "watching Lincoln duty" (mainly Ryan's job), which was probably the most difficult of all!
Saturday
- Back to NYC for fun at Hershey's, M&Ms Store, Rockefeller Center, Disney Store, and FAO Schwartz.
New York with all the hustle and bustle, Christmas decorations, and window displays is something everyone should experience at least once. It's magical.
We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

What a fun time you had! Did Lincoln eat that whole chocolate turkey??! yum
How fun - you are so lucky to live in such an active place! that's a lot of hershey syrup :)
I watched some of the parade--it looked like fun. I can't believe you went and stayed in the cold with Lincoln. Sometimes you think---what are we doing. And then it is a blast and you know it was worth it. I bet it is alot of fun living in the middle of things.
looks like you guys had a blast this past week! I should probably make it out with the girls next year to do all the New York festivities, but I can't bring myself to go with children. NY is just too crazy... but I should suck it up and just do it! lol.
Jamie, You look so beautiful in your cute blue coat and hat!
I also like Link with chocolate on his lil chin.
Sounds like a fun holiday! Can't wait til X-mas!
Oh man, what fun! This post made me miss New York terribly, especially in the fall!
NY is so much fun during the holidays! Thanks for inspiring me to make the trek across the river! :) Sorry it was so cold during the parade, but I'm sure Lincoln had a great time.
