NYC ... the best birthday trip ever!

Back from the big NYC birthday trip! What a blast the kids (and mommas too) had. I don't think we could have fit one more thing into our trip. Some of our highlights included a horse and carriage ride around Central Park, dinner and a frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity, a trip through FAO Schwartz, a trip to American Girl Place with an amazing birthday party lunch (after shopping for our doll

s), Annie on Broadway, a quick run through of Toys R Us, ice skating at Rockefeller Center, more Central Park walkthrough and a carousel ride and ended our NYC experience with a visit to see Eloise at the Plaza hotel! This trip was amazing but was even more amazing that we got to celebrate 4 great friends birthdays. So many amazing memories!

I love you Alexi Ryann and will never forget our special birthday trip! 

Pirate Jessie

Oh, I just couldn't resist! Jessie has an eye infection and truly the light does bother it.  Fortunately, it should only last a week and even more fortunate Carli had a pirate princess birthday a year ago which means we have extra pirate eye patches.

Beautiful morning at the park

Beautiful gorgeous morning playing at the park.  I love weekends and family time! Always feeling so blessed and so thankful for my beautiful family!

rain rain go away, come again another day

Wow, it seems as if it has not stopped raining for days! Quite frankly I am tired of it, but for the kids any excuse to use an umbrella! Not sure they even concentrate on actually keeping the umbrella over their heads.  We usually end up more wet using the umbrellas than we would if we just ran in without them.  Oh well, to make a kid happy!
