Every year Matt's preschool (Puzzles Academy) does a "field trip" to NYC for the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City. This was our second year attending and we had a great time. Emily loved the "Rockets" - Rockettes. She has decided that that is what she wants to do when she grows up. I don't have the heart to tell her that she probably won't meet the height requirement and that she should already have a few years of dance classes under her belt if that is her desire. Matt loved Santa. When we asked him what was the best part of the show, that was his reply "Santa". I love the live nativity scene they do at the very end of the show, with real camels, sheep and a donkey. The show started at 11 and lasted until 12:30 and we planned on spending a good part of the afternoon in the city. We did get to see the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree before it was put up...it was erected by the time the show was over but we had other places to go and will go back to see it lit up. After lunch, we went to Time Square and into the Hershey and M&M stores. Emily got a pair of green M&M socks that she absolutely loves....she would wear them with every outfit if she could. She also got a stuffed bear (a stuffed animal that's a surprise -NOT) from the Hershey store. Matt got a M&M fire truck snow globe. Both kids did really well in the city. Matt only sat in his stroller when we went to Time Square, which was good because of the amount of people. Emily was the one who decided when it was time to leave, she was tired of walking. We took the ferry over from New Jersey so we had to wait for a bus to take us to the ferry. It was a long wait for the bus because the time Emily decided she wanted to leave was right when the non peak and peak hours for the bus were changing. All in all it was a great day. No nap for Matt but he did great considering. It was a wonderful family day starting the Christmas season for us.
how cool!
