Christmas in the City

Christmas was so fun this year! In order to stay withinin our little budget, and due to my enormous midsection, neither of us could go home for christmas, so we decided to have our own little celebration just the two of us. Christmas eve we went in to New York City, we stopped at FAO Schwartz to see the giant piano and to see all of their big toy displays. It was really cool, I especially liked the Lego area, probably because I played with Lego so much as a kid. We found life size characters entirely made out of lego! As you can see...batman is very intimidated.

We also went to see the Rockafeller Tree downtown, it was so big! But it seemed small in comparison to the huge building, either way it was a beautiful site. My favorite part of the evening was grabbing a burger at Five Guys, the best burger place ever! The last time I had been there was just before Braden and I moved from Utah to come out this direction. It was a nice little taste of what we left behind, although it wasn't the same without Michael and Brooke.

It was a little challenging walking around the city that much being huge and pregnant, the crowds just sort of bump you around, especially when you're my height, they can't hardly see me...but it was definitely worth it. I guess it goes to show that a staycation can be almost as fun as a real vacation.

We also walked around window shopping at places like Luis Vitton, Prada, Valentino, Cartier, etc just to satisfy our curiousity as to how much some of these high rollers spend around christmas. It was fun to see all of the extravagent things. Some of the stores had the most amazing window displays, they were so detailed and perfectly set up. Braden was very patient as I spent a lot of time gazing at window displays.
