NYC in December

 This year we are going to Washington for the holidays but before we leave we are still trying to make the most of this wonderful time of year in New York! There is always so much to do and see here! We loved staying in the city last year for Christmas and being around all the hustle and bustle. BUT we are very excited to be in Washington this year for Christmas with my family. A few top listers that we were able to do before we left were see Santa at Macy's, go to the Macy's window displays, Union Square Holiday Market and go to City Bakery for the famous hot chocolate and homemade marshmallow!

 City Bakery! This hot chocolate is so rich and creamy. It totally feels like we were in Europe drinking thick melted chocolate bars. 

Random pic of Charley in a cute dress my boss gave her! :) 

My friend, Madison, came to visit and so we checked out Union Square Holiday Market, went shopping at Fishs Eddy and then went to the Macy's window display. 

 A few days later, my friend and I brought our girls to meet Santa! I think they both liked the Santa Land leading up to seeing Santa better though. 

went during nap time... not a good idea:( 

meeting Santa! 

I first gave Charley to Santa and she started crying which I was okay with because what parent actually has a picture of their kid smiling with him? So I was ready to take a pic of her screaming her head off, but the elf next to us told me to hold her and be in the picture. So we took our picture with him, I told Santa what I wanted for Christmas and then we went on our merry way!:) 

Some other great things that I wish we had time for would be Dyker Heights lights, Rockefeller Tree, New York City Ballet: Nutcracker, ice skating at Prospect Park and sledding (if we had any snow).. but we will do tons of that in Washington!
