The Streets of NYC

New York City sure goes all out in their Christmas decorations!  Everywhere we went, the 'halls were decked', so to speak.  It was amazing!

Of course, we were just a tad bit too early for the Christmas Tree lighting at the Rockefeller center, but we enjoyed the view, the decorations, and the ice skating nonetheless! (There's a gigantic Christmas tree in that scaffolding!)  

 SO many stores have "Christmas Windows" - it is so fun to walk around and see all the different scenes and shows!  Many of them move, and they are all incredible! (Unfortunately they are hard to photograph, due to the reflection, so forgive the bad pics)

This was really neat: They have video cameras set up, and the computer then creates a 'snowflake' out of the image in the camera.  The children learned how to get their face in the camera to create a 'self-snowflake'.  It was quite entertaining.  Here is Grins:

And Angel:

We had fun 'walking the streets'.  Grins had to stop and give these glasses a try:

These two were holding hands almost the entire time we were walking around.  I loved it!!

On the bus (it's quite difficult to find a cab for 5...)

Wiggles got a pretty sweet deal...

Wiggles and her beloved Lightening McQueen

We LOVED this awesome "Christmas is love, family, Jesus Christ" banner in Times Square, even before we saw the "Mormon.org" on it! Awesome! :)

(note Wiggles' sleepy face in the above pic...)

Our travels finally wore Wiggles out...

We Love NYC!!
