Thanksgiving Dinner

After the parade we came home where Tom and his mom, Maryann, were making us all dinner. I was so glad I didn't have to make the turkey because I have no idea how to. All I did was make my favorite green bean casserole. Tom's brother Angelo also had dinner with us. After dinner we all went to Toms uncles house for pie....Yummy!

Macy's Day Parade

Kim and I really wanted to go to the Macy's Day Parade despite the fact that it was rainy and windy. We only made it through the first 4 or 5 floats....but it was fun anyway. The city was so packed. At one point we were stuck were we were...we couldn't move either direction. We watched what we were able to watch from 39th and Broadway and then headed back to the train station because it was pouring rain....but at least now we can say that we have been to the Macy's Day Parade!

JoJo!

The Rockets at Radio City Music Hall

On Tuesday night Tom, Kim, Maryann (Toms mom), and I all went to see the Christmas Show at Radio City Music Hall. I think Kim really enjoyed it, as did the rest of us!

My Job

On Tuesday, I thought Kim might be bored at home so I took her with me to the preschool that I work at. It was nice having her there to keep me company and help with projects for the kids.

All of my kids on Tuesdays! Aisy, Michaela, Hayden, Nikolai, and Anthony.


Aislyn (*AKA* Aisy)...she is definately one of the cutest kids I have ever met. She is soooo good too!


Here I am with Aislyn and Nikolai...my two favorites!

The Beach in November

Of course I had to take Kim to see the beach! I took her to Robert Moses beach on Monday and it was so cold I thought I would turn into an icicle. We took lots of picures and then got out of there as fast as we could. The only other people crazy enough to go to the beach in Novemember were the fisherman.



NY with Kim

For Thanksgiving break my sister Kim came to NY to visit Tom and I. On Sunday I took her to the city to see all the sites that we could possibly see in one day. We both had a lot of fun. It was nice to show my sister where I live now and have her experience some of the things that I do every day.

After Central Park we went to see the temple. . . and then to the Top of The Rock. It's a great view, but really cold!


Next we went to Central Park! We were trying to find the ice skating rink and the bridge that are in all the movies...but we couldn't find it.


Then we went to Ground Zero. I had never been there before so it was a good experience for me too.


The first thing we did was to ride the Staten Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty . . . it was sooo cold on the ferry!
