Christmas in New York

Jeff had to attend some training in New York right before Christmas so I tagged along just for the fun of it. We stayed right in the middle of Times Square which was lots of fun.

There is a new Disney store there so I went (several times) of course. It was very neat and I so hope that once they start reopening stores one will be in NASHVILLE

The Rockefeller Center tree was pretty, but it looks smaller in person than it does on TV

Some of the trees in our hotel

We had brunch at Bobby Flay's Bar Amercan (sp?) VERY YUMMY

The tree and Times Square at night

Compared to what many do in New York, we did very little. We just enjoyed being away and in each others company. Sometimes less is more...

Our trip to Savannah

We loaded up the car on the last day in July to go visit our most favorite Aunt!!!! It takes most of the day to drive down there and we spent Saturday morning lounging around. Baylor found the piano

and Christian made himself at home at the kitchen table with his beloved Leggos

Later in the day, Baylor and KayKay made a peach ice cream pie

That evening we visited Mim's church. It was a neat building and the kids enjoyed the childrens area. (Mim normally works there on Saturday evenings, so they took extra good care of "her kids") After service we took pictures at the lake next door

I love my sweet sister!!! It was nice to see some places she spends her time and meet some of her friends.

Sunday morning we made cookies...not just any cookies, but Star Wars cookies w/ special cutters Mim borrowed.

Not only did they look cool, but they tasted good too

After making cookies, we went to one of Mim's friends neighborhood to enjoy the pool. She had told me there was a water slide, but I didn't expect something as big and cool as we found

You walked up three flights of stairs and then came swirling around to the bottom. Christian was on it less than 5 minutes after we arrived.

Even I got in on the fun:)

It took Miss Priss a little longer to warm up, but she finally did it w/ Mommy or Mim riding behind her....Here's Baylor!!!

This pool was seriously like a mini waterpark!!! You see the mushroom fountain behind Mim and Baylor

and Christian in mid leap in the slash pad area!!!

Tuesday was our lazy hang around the house day. Mim did have a very silly Cat in the Hat game to play. You picked a card and did whatever it told you with the object you drew...For example: Go under the stick with the ball on your tummy. Crawl around the stick with the fish in your shirt. Very funny to watch.

Wednesday morning was spent at Monkey Joe's. It was a great way for the kids to get out some energy and us to wait out the rain

After all that bouncing we went downtown to walk around a bit and get a treat. My children were ready to lick the chocolate out of the machine at The Savannah Candy Kitchen.

City Market

Walking around downtown

Mim thought she would just relax and watch the kids play...

Come on Mim...run with us

Showing off his lost tooth

Water felt good on that hot day

What time w/ Mim would be complete with out a DANCE PARTY?!?!

Our trip was so much fun. Mim's friends are sweet and seem to take good care of her:) Now she get's to start packing for her trip to see her man!!!
