Emma turned 6

I can't believe my baby is 6 years old. Her birthday was Dec 3. Time sure flies by. Emma celebrated her birthday with her very first friend party. She had a few friends from her class come over for a makeover party. Victoria and her friend, Julia put makeup on the girls and Sara did their hair. Each girls decorated their own cupcake. They played freeze dance and school. All in all, they had a great time. On her birthday, we decided to have ice cream cones with birthday candles and I baked a cake to bring to my mom's house. We made mini cupcakes for her classmates. It was some birthday! She has grown up so much since she started kindergarten. She is so smart and we love her so much!

T'was the Night Before Christmas Tradition

After putting on our Christmas pj's, we drink hot cocoa, watch Christmas Story, set out milk and cookies with a letter for Santa and take a before picture of our tree. It is now 10:15 and the girls are fast asleep. Sara will be home shortly after spending the night with her boyfriend and his family. I am sure we will be up early so I am off to wrap a few more gifts and get finished for the night. I want to wish all my friends and family a Merry Christmas!

Radio City Christmas Spectacular Show and more

My mom surprised my girls and I with tickets to go see The Rockettes and the fantastic Christmas show at Radio City Music Hall. Also to my surprise, My Aunt and 3 cousins also joined in on the fun. We decided to take the ferry over to NY and the girls we are so happy. We took a bunch of pictures just on the ferry alone. I even got a few good ones of the Intrepid Museum. After docking we took a bus directly to Radio City where we watched street dancers, ate hot pretzels and took some more great pictures. Adeline was already working in NY so she met up with us and we headed into the Music Hall. It was so beautiful! We got 3D glasses to wear in the beginning of the show... that was really cool. The show was absolutely amazing. The Rockettes have to be the most perfect dancers. The girls were so thrilled with the show especially with Santa. After the show, we went to a fifties restaurant; Stardust, and had some dinner and the waiters and waitresses took turns singing. That was a great time as well! Since it wasn't windy and just cold out we decided to walk over to Rockerfeller Center to show the girls the Christmas Tree. Absolutely beautiful. Emma and Victoria wanted to ice skate with everyone. I told them they need to learn first. lol Finally we got back on the bus to the ferry and back home to NJ. Thanks mom for a great night! Take a minute to look at the slideshow below for some fun pictures.

NYC at Christmas Time 2008

Taking a Christmas Card Picture....

isn't so easy when you have a dog that doesn't want to look at the camera and gives a little growl here and there. Needless to say the girls couldn't stop laughing. After about 40+ pictures taking I got 1 - 3 decent pictures to choose from. Check out the slide below to see some of the fun they had. tfl and Happy Holidays!

Easy Christmas Card Picture... NOT!

Happy Thanksgiving

We are heading over to my mom's apartment for the day. Mom, Dave and my Victoria have been preparing since last night. I can't wait to start the fun! I hope everyone has a happy and healthy Thanksgiving Day! No matter how you celebrate or who you are celebrating with, ENJOY!

All Wrapped Up

How cute is my "Lil' Old Man" Max?!!! All he wants to do is sleep, eat and have someone pet him. He has been overly spoiled this past week. Sara, my 16 year old, had her tonsils removed on November 3. So he spent as much time in bed as she did. When they weren't in bed, they were veggin' on the couch. He loves to be warm so Sara decided that he should be wrapped up in my blanket. tfl
