Newport Christmas lights
Our little town square is decorated really cute with christmas lights. They had a special christmas lighting ceremony one night where Santa came and the lights were turned on and were synchronized with music.
Winter's Eve at the Lincoln Center
They held a Winter's eve at the Lincoln Center which is where Juilliard, the Met opera house and the Manhattan temple are located. They had a Christmas Tree lighting, ice sculptures, concerts, and places you could go see Santa. Blake was busy studying for finals so Jaylee and I went to go check it out. We went to a little kiddie concert that Jaylee absolutely loved. She loves music, dancing and kids so this was perfect! We also went to see Santa and Jaylee loves to say HoHoHo when you ask what Santa says and she loves seeing him but she does NOT like being too close to him. So when when we were in line she got more and more nervous as we got closer and closer. I didn't want to make her scared to death about Santa so I just sat on his lap while I held her. As we left of coarse she warmed right up and said bye, waved and blew kisses to him, haha oh Jaylee!
Washington Square Park Christmas tree lighting
So one of the cute ladies that I have met while here invited me to go to see them light the tree at Washington Square Park which is right next to NYU. I was excited to go over into the city and spend the day with her even though it was rainy and cold. We walked over to the park in the rain to see them light the tree and when they did we both started laughing. Here we were in the freezing cold getting all wet and the tree looked terrible! It only had lights on it and they looked like they had started and got sick of doing it after 10 mins and just threw on the rest. So needless to say we only stayed for a couple of mins and left. Oh they had a Santa walking around before they lit the tree and he walked up to Jaylee who was dancing in the rain and when she saw him she ran towards me until she saw that he had a candy cane, then she went back and took it and blew kisses to him as he walked away. So stranger danger unless they have candy, haha!
Santaland & Ward Christmas Party
Jaylee and I went to THE Macy's famous Santaland with the ladies from our ward. First off, Macy's is huge! It is the biggest department store ever, Santa is on the 8th floor and someone told us that they leave Santaland up all year round. It was adorable how they have it set up. First you go through a train that sounds like its moving and it takes you to the North Pole. Once inside there were snowmen, a weird christmas tree that talked, trains, lots christmas trees decorated, build-a-bears singing and dancing, and this is all just as you go through the line. Then an Elf took you to a little room where Santa is waiting. Jaylee was all excited seeing all the cute stuff through the line but when I told her that we were going to see Santa she kind of freaked out and said no no no bye bye bye. She had a kung fu grip on me when she saw Santa so I just held her and sat by him. But I want to go back and see if I can get her to sit on his lap so I can get a picture, I know that she will be screaming but I think it would be fun to have.
We also had a ward Christmas party on Saturday and the Primary put on a christmas pageant and they had the nursery kids be the sheep. They had made cute ears out of white felt and had them wear long black socks on their arms (we put Jaylee's on and immediately she took them off, haha). There were about 10 nursery kids and when they brought them out with the shepherds they had them sit down off to the side. Of coarse they only sat for a minute and the rest of the pageant we were just trying to contain them! Haha by the end only 2 kids still had their ears on and the rest were crawling on the floor, piano, and on the manger they had made! It was rather funny!
Funny pics of Jaylee
Yummy and sticky!
Ho Ho Ho!

SO FUN! I bet Santaland is a blast. Emma has been really obsessed with Santa this year. She has been begging and after a couple let downs she finally got to see him tonight at the mall. Her and Braxton surprisingly sat on his lap with no issue. I love seeing all your posts. NY is somewhere I've always wanted to go. Can't believe how big Jaylee is!!! I still remember meeting you and you were still prego. Oh how time flies!
Such cute pictures Mammer. I love them!I love seeing Jaylee's face with things because it tells all! She is adorable.. Christmas looks great in NYC. Here in Jerusalem they dont really celebrate Christmas as much so its nice too look at lights and look at snow and see what I've been missing! Love ya sis.
