Our holiday festivities would not be complete without a trip in below 50 degree weather to see the iconic Rockefeller Center Tree. Every year, we like to head into the city to battle the crowds to see the tree and the holiday windows at NYC's famous department stores a.k.a. Saks, Macy's, Bergdorf, Bloomies, etc. It is such a touristy thing to do, but we enjoy it nonetheless and it has become the quintessential Christmas experience. This year, it was extra special because our little man joined us. {Tip: It is "less crowded" if you go on a weeknight and not too close to Christmas.} I just love the energy of the city around this time, the bright lights, the lovely decor and the streets are buzzing (even more so) with shoppers. And every year, I always end with the same thought: There truly is no place like New York for the Holidays. 

P.S. Is it corny that I am super excited my pre-pregnancy skinny jeans fit?!!

Spent a Merry Christmas Eve with those dearest and closest to me, my family. My jaw hurt from laughing so much and watching my 17-month old niece focus on tearing up the wrapping paper instead of focusing on opening her gifts. I'm sure next Christmas it will be a totally different story. As always, the day went by in a blur of activity and it was all over much too soon. As is the routine year after year, now begins the countdown to 2012. Hope you all enjoyed your Holidays with loved ones!

By the way, this lucky girl received a very special gift for Christmas. :) I'll be sharing that with you later this week.
