(Continued from the post below...)
Christmas morning was delightful and it was fun to see the kids' reactions to their presents! Santa Claus even picked up Christopher's stocking and delivered it to New York--imagine that! Here are some pics from the day, including the grand finale of helping Grandma Jan make her famous baked Alaska...
And of course, they got to enjoy the baked Alaska as well!
The day after Christmas found us in Brooklyn where we got to hang out with the triplets again and see Aunt Dabney's fabulous new store! It was so exciting! After that we trekked over to Jersey (in a Nor'easter!) to see the Duren-Lubanski family and to eat more good Italian food including a second dose of pizza for the day and Mommy's favorite, eggplant parm!
This was a very exciting day for Christopher because in a matter of 12 hours, he got to cross the Manhattan, Brooklyn, Triborough, and George Washington Bridges, and he went through the Holland Tunnel. Unfortunately for him, he fell asleep as we sat in traffic waiting to get through the tunnel so technically he missed it. We took a video for him but apparently that was not enough. We had to hear about how "disappointed" he was to miss the Holland Tunnel (which he kept calling the Lincoln Tunnel). He's probably the only person on the planet who is upset to miss the Holland Tunnel! Anyway, the next day found us in Manhattan at the Natural History Museum. Because we live in Kansas, Brian and I don't get to always bring Chris places that we visited as a kid. Well, it was so exciting to do this at the museum! I was practically as excited to see the giant blue whale hanging from the ceiling as Christopher was!
