NYC and skyzone

 After Christmas everyone went to skyzone and jumped on these gigantic trampolines and played dodge ball! The kids had a lot of fun but then again they have a lot of fun just being together! Cousin time is the best!

 Later my sister and I and the girls went to the city and we did the typical "city" things! Jen, likes to do the tours and visit or go to all the spots that were in movies or landmark things where I just like to melt into the city and pretend that I belong there and just take in the people, the noise and the traffic! I actually really like driving around NYC! If you watch project runway on TV we went to the material store and while we trying to figure out how to get into the building we saw SWATCH, the dog, outside relieving himself on the sidewalk with his walker! SO so fun and exciting for us.  Yes, we don't get out much and a celebrity dog is good enough for me!

 Jen also wanted a picture of her purchasing a shirt from there! Pretty cool.  We also ate at another well known eatery in NYC, called Juniors and we ordered lunch and purchased Junior cheesecake too! Bascically, the taste of Brooklyn in the heart of Manhattan! It was a very busy hopping place to be!!

I also purchased my very own blue tooth selfie stick! it was one of my Christmas presents and I am embarrassed to say it cost me $50!!! What the heck was I thinking! But, I loved using it and we practiced a lot! We got there bright and early so we could be on the Morning Show and then we toured NBC studios and then WALKED AND WALKED and WALKED!! I like to take the subway and Jen would rather walk 20 blocks in one direction only to work 10 in another only to turn back and walk 15 blocks in the other direction to walk 9 right back where we were! Someone needed to get her a map so we could save ourselves time and CALORIES!! LOL
Scary sesame street characters were in the street greeting and creeping on people! I seriously freaked out and couldn't handle it! Costumed fur people make me nervous and wish I had a tazer on me!  We went to see the Christmas tree at Rockefeller center where we ran into some of  NY cities finest NYPD! Thank you for all you do! We had fabulous cannoli's and I am convinced they can only be bought in the city!

When we get together we like to have fun and eat! I think it is because it is part of our last name EAT** Family is important and we love being with everyone

 We finally arrived to NY! I bought the girls and I matching monkey sock footie pajamas! I love them! The dogs have their own room in my parents house! They are crashed out and so happy not to be travelling! I sleep on the pull out couch with them!


 
Funny thing is this is Christmas morning and my dad wakes me up and says, "Cake, Merry Christmas and comes in with a coach bag, a perfume bag, and Godiva Chocolates etc. I'm sleepy eyed and say Good Moring, Dad! Thank you! Here's the kicker:: "Can you wrap these for mom??" UM... yeah, no problem! Oops,  not my presents!!



 
This is a typical scene of my parents! They work from sun up to sun down but they actually work past those hours! They come home often exhausted!! They are so cute together! I love them.

 
I decided I need to take a few pictures of the scenery that my little ol' town has to offer! It's so sweet and quaint! Merry Christmas everyone!
