Xmas vacation part one
♥ Comments (17) ♥
oh it has been good to get away. To close up the shop and pack up the bags and get out of dodge for awhile. So back in december right before we left for the east coast zander had his very first pre-school singing program. Even Uncle Nat came out from Chicago for the event.
you gotta love my sister for dressing him in blue. In a sea of red we could find him. Look carefully he’s singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
The next day at 10am our flight left chicago without a hitch and we soon landed in Philly. To stay at Nat’s parent’s house, which is in South New Jersey just outside of Philly. There’s a lot of cats around in this house. I think there’s 4 or 5. Mr. Hairpiece
Puff
and little Crazy (i think her real name is Yushi) She was just a kitten when is aw her last. She’s real scared of people, but cause she’s so cute i had nat’s sister drag her out for a shot or two.
Meet Skoshie the dog
Nat slept and watched the Flyers play the Sabres Hockey games.
his mom made these
and i have a FO, it’s Foliage. Knit in Malabrigio worsted for a close friend for xmas.
nat tried to choose a record to listen to, do you see what a challenge it can be with his dad’s choices?
So we went to NYC rather than trying to pick just one record to play.
Jen & Nat 34th Street December 21 2007
some NYC type for you
mmmmm NY style pizza our favorite
mmmm helvetica
hey look near 34th street i saw a post office on wheels
the empire state buliding
mmm another reason i love the east coast knish and soft pretzels
i bought us some hats with earflaps from a street vendor
some lights in Bryant Park
and our annual tradition. EVERY TIME we go to NYC i do one of those myspace mode (hold the camera out take your picture) style shots of nat and i, in front of the ornaments in the fountain at Rockafeller center. Altho doing myspace-mode poses problems from time to time
nat!
we made our way to the tree, which was way crowded
and we did myspace-mode again for the snowflakes on Saks.
next time i post i’ll show you some philly and xmas pictures..i figured this big ass photo post was long enough. But i will leave you with my most favorite building of all.

Zander looks adorable--nothing like standing out in a crowd!
Looks like you had a great time in NYC! Is that the hint of a smile on Nat’s face in front of the snowflakes? Who could resist?!

Zander looks so cute! Very smart of Wendy to dress him in blue :)
Such cute animals at Nat’s parent’s house! Thanks for sharing all the photos! I love the christmas tree & snowflakes :D
Foliage looks great!! I really like that color.

What awesome pics! I especially loved Zander and the cat parade. :)
BTW, I work 2 blocks away from the ornaments in the water. Small world, hunh?
Glad to see you had a really happy one. Can’t wait to see the rest of your pics.

I live here and I didn’t even see all those Holidays sites. Too pregnant to get around. Thanks for the pictures. I felt like I did it see it now.

Awesome photos, as usual! :) My fave is the one of those leafy/flower lights next to the fabric-wrapped pole.
I’m looking forward to seeing what you saw in Philly (I live near there).

Great pictures! I didn’t make it to New York this year and I miss it. Which is funny because I started out hating the place.
And pictures of people’s pets are always great.
Glad you had a good trip (part 1)!

Ha! I knew I liked that Nat… Being from East Jersey and all (granted this does also mean there is a good chance our family trees cross..)
Glad to hear (& see) you had such a great time!

Looks like you had a great trip! That post office on wheels is hysterical - we don’t have that here in Canada - not that I’ve ever seen anyhow!
Hope you had a Merry Xmas & Happy New Year!
