My parents came to visit!

 My parents came to visit us a week before Thanksgiving! It was so fun to see them and show them the city. They have been to New York a few times, so we didn't go too crazy. We still stayed busy and were able to see quite a bit. I wish I had taken more pictures, but only snapped a few while they were here. One day, we walked around Union Square holiday market and bought a few things. Then my mom and I stayed and got some yummy savory crepes and my dad and Spencer went to find a hot-dog. My dad really wanted a New York hot dog, so they went to find a good one. Then we walked up to the flat-iron district and went into Eataly for a bit. That night, we went to Mama Mia on Broadway which was a lot better than I expected!

That night before the show, we ate at Carmines. It's a really good Italian place that is family style. We ordered 2 dishes for all 4 of us and had plenty. Such good food! We hung around Times Square till our show started and saw some street performers. 

The next day, we did more walking in the city. We went to Chinatown for lunch and had our favorite dumplings and chicken sesame pancakes at Prosperity Dumplings and then we went to the 9-11 Memorial and Museum. Such an amazing place! Spencer took one for the team and took Charley home because it's not very kid-friendly and so I was able to relax and enjoy the museum this time around. I was able to read what I wanted to read and take my time! My parents loved going through it as well and we actually had to skip the last part of the museum because it was time to go to dinner.  That night we took my parents out at this fancy steak restaurant called Del Friscos. My dad just so happens to be our accountant so we had to tell him "Thank You" some how!:) It was the best steak I have had! 

Charley loved having Gramma B and Bart here! While they were here, my mom made Charley a big-girl pillow and they bought her a little cookie-monster stuffed animal. Charley also got to give Bart a make-over which she (and him) thoroughly enjoyed! 

 They also got to come to our ward and hear me give a talk! :) 

So glad you came Mom and Dad! Come visit us again soon!
