Happy Holidays my sweet and wonderful friends. Can you believe the count down is on??? WOW time flies during this season!  I have sooo much to share with you all!  Lots of fun pictures from my recent trip to NYC, some fun Christmas swap goodies & purchases, as well as a new custom bunny box! Pull up a comfy chair, grab a warm blankie, a cup of cocoa, and turn up the Holiday tunes!

This past weekend my hubby and I flew to NYC for a long weekend, and we decided to bring my step-son Jordan for his first visit to NYC. We had a fantastic time! NY in December is so magical and beautiful. Full of the holiday spirit! We lucked out BIG TIME! The strike finally ended and we were able to see Wicked on Friday night. FABULOUS show! A must see if you visit NY. Friday day we took Jordan to Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas tree. Here’s the gruesome twosome.

Saturday we spent half that day at Central Park, and the boys went ice skating while I took pictures. Good thing, I didn’t skate. They only skated 15 mintues than their ankles and feet started hurting. Here are some cute fun pics.
