After receiving new earrings for Christmas from her Papa. She woke up the day after Christmas saying, "Mom, I'm ready!". So we went down to Claire's with her friend Emma Thornton and they both got them done. They were both unsure once they got in the chair but did great and are now little ladies. She loves them and reminds me several times a day to clean her them. She can't wait until she can take the studs out and wear dangly ones. :-) She is growing too fast!

Liz, Holly, Nicole, and I in New York last weekend for a day of fun, shopping.

So my favorite part of New York City is Central Park. Ahhh. It's so gorgeous and so HUGE. We only spent time at one end of it and enjoyed every moment. I took TONS of pictures. If you ever go...you have to spend at least the afternoon in the park. You won't regret it! :-)

We learned to really love the subway system. Ahhhh....our feet were killing from all the walking.

Rockefeller Center

We didn't have the time this year to go to a tree farm or mountains to find the perfect tree, but to go to a local tree lot and pick one out this year. The girls didn't care, they loved all the choices. We always set up the kids artifical tree in the familyroom, but this year we decided to get that real, fresh smelling tree for our media room. Nothing like the real thing! :-)
