Excited about taking the bus into the city and having a whole day with daddy...
...but there was a lot of traffic, so someone decided to take a nap
People watching at Bryant Park
The Chrystler building...it was a beautiful day
Rockefeller Center in the daylight....
...and at night
Why did we see Rockefeller Center in the daylight and at night, you ask? Well...Jazmine (who was a trooper, she did great) really needed to eat when we were there. So we went into the NBC studio building for a warm place to hang out while she I fed her. It was CRAZY crowded...like the rest of the city.
We found a quiet corner where I was standing feeding Jazmine (because despite a valiant effort, Chris couldn't find a chair). A kind security guard brought me a chair...gotta love that New Yorkers are still nice even on a crazy day in December. So...after Jazmine ate, we changed a REALLY dirty diaper and stood in crazy long lines to use the restroom..we were ready to head back outside.
We hadn't gotten a very good look at the tree, so we decided to stay around 30 Rock a litte longer. Not like we could have left quickly if we wanted to. The mobs of people packing the street made going anywhere very slow. But...we enjoyed the lights, enjoyed being together, and even enjoyed the crazy crowds...a classic New York at Christmas day.

Wonderful post, Kate. You're right, there is nothing quite like New York City at Christmas time! I remember being there early on a Sunday morning, looking at the tree and the wonderful windows. Great family time and tradition. Yes, Kate, there really are nice New Yorkers...
Wow - I hadn't actually realized how wintery it is there right now! Crazy considering our 85° today :)
Cannot wait to see her...and you guys... so soon!!
Jazmine, I'm so jealous--I would LOVE to spend a day in NYC!!
