Christmas morning - I read a quote a couple years ago somewhere along the lines of...."one of the best messes made is the mess on Christmas morning...don't clean it up too quickly" I love wrapping paper filled floors and have pictures of my dad dead asleep in his robe in the middle of the Christmas floor with kids running all around him - it's such a fun time
Took a walk through Central Park, so beautiful
We saw Wicked, stood in the cancellation line and luckily it was the day after the blizzard so there were enough cancellations to get us in. Sierra was cracking up during the whole musical, it made me laugh
Another Nelson grab-it-while-it's-still-there smorgasbord - falafel and gyros
some cute boys
nothing like a freezing cold shake at the shake shack to help you keep warm on a freezing cold NY day
an idea Sverre came up with of something to do when you're snowed in and you've got lots of Christmas boxes and lots of time. hello, a christmas robot
when my mom finds something comfortable, she buys like 8 pairs of them in different colors...shoes, shirts you name it. These days her Costco PJ's are on the top of her list and lucky her, she has 3 pairs now
cute sister Lauren and Mike
We saw the Christmas Rockettes Spectacular, which I LOVE. I especially love it because they have a live nativity at the end and read the story of Christ's birth - Hello, none of this"I have to say happy holidays so as not to offend", it's MERRY CHRISTMAS - We are celebrating Christ's birth and I don't understand why people don't get that sometimes these days
some Apple lovers
We really loved going to the mission Christmas conference - it was so fun to see how well my parents interact with those missionaries and to see what a wonderful job they are doing. My mom and dad are both such wonderful example to me of selfless service, just doing what is right and really, they are the best parents I could have asked for
We were the lunch lady servers, we did such a dang good job at handing out that ham and those funeral potatoes
Rachel was a lunch lady with an attitude and Todd was obviously all business - love them
We went to the Natural HIstory museum - it is HUGE - afterwards ate dinner with Katie and Emily, my college roommates who live there
saw the temple - very cool to see the angel Moroni in such a busy, crazy place
going into the city after all our flights were cancelled and we had 4 days before we could get a flight out - it was a ghost town in the city, no taxis, nowhere for the snow to go - really fun day
Times Square - went and saw the musical "In the Heights" which was really good
NYC library - huge and beautiful
Macy's - never seen a store so packed - it was ginormous and Sverre sneakily sprayed some nasty Macy's perfume on me as we were walking out that made me want to vomit the rest of the day
Staten Island Ferry Hot Dog anyone?? leave it to my cute mom to keep us fed and full on ferry hot dogs, they saved us as we were all starving
ah, the Statue of Liberty, love it, my kids loved seeing it - beautiful day
yes folks, can you believe I put so many pictures up - just had to do it, it was a trip to remember - thanks mom and dad!

Wow! How fun to be in NYC during Christmas AND a historic snow storm! Glad you had so much fun!
Looks like you had a wonderful trip here on the East Coast (we only live about 2 hours from NYC). We still have never ventured into the Big Apple for Christmas, but we may get there yet...
