Christmas EVE

Christmas Eve we walked around the Atlas Park shops and took pictures with Mimi and Aunt Eileen, then off we went to Belmont Steaks for dinner ICE CREAM for dessert was the big hit!

After dinner back to Mimi & Tio's to open presents. Isabel got an AMerican Girl Bity Baby which is so cute, a new carriage for her babies, Disney on Ice tickets, earrings, and so much more. After Mimi's we went over to Maureen's house to see the crew and have more dessert and see Santa again.

Birthday for Robin and Joseph

Robin and Joseph's birthday was also the 23rd of Dec. so we went back to Jeannettes for dinner and cake. It was great to see the kids playing together and Mimi got to play too....

Beauty and the Beast

What an awesome Christmas present. Cousin Robin bought us tickets to see Beauty and the Beast for Dec. 23, also Robin's birthday. I have to admit I didn't think it was really a hot idea, a 2 year old at a Broadway show?? Well Isabel surprised us. We spent the whole day in the city walking around seeing the tree then we went to lunch and then walked over to the show. Isabel was excellent!! Fell asleep right before intermission and then I woke her right after intermission and I really think she loved it. Right after the show we had to get back to Queens it was Joseph's 3rd birthday party up at his house too!!! What a long day!

Toys for Tots

Wrapping up present to give for Toys for Tots it was very important to me that Isabel understands that Christmas is not going to be ALL about getting it is about giving too!!!

Bronx Zoo Holiday Lights

On December 9 we went to the Bronx zoo for their holiday lights. Despite the pictures it really was pretty warm out for a Dec. night. We met Adine, Sera and her family there. The tigers were out but other then that not to many of the animals were out. They really did a great job on all the lights.

White Post Farms

We started off the holiday season with our annual (ok only 2nd time) trip to White Post Farms. Dawn was in with Mikie from Nevada and the day after Thanksgiving we went to the farm for pictures with Santa, a train ride and to play with friends. Dawn, Mikie, Michelle, Arianna, Anthony, Angela, Jayden, Jorden, Hunter and Spencer all joined us. We had a fun day.
