A couple weekends ago, I went to New York City with my Grandma, Mom, and Aunt Candy. Even though we’re “country folks,” we managed to live like “city folks” for a few days :) Christmas in NYC is amazing!! From the tree at Rockefeller Center to the store fronts of Macy’s, Christmas lights and decorations were EVERYWHERE!! By far my favorite thing about our NYC trip was The Rockette’s “Christmas Spectacular” at Radio City! It was unbelievable!! Those girls are amazing!! If you’ve never been to NYC during Christmas, you should put it on your list of things to do!! We also got to see some snow while we were there…it definitely put me in the Christmas Spirit!!

The Rockettes
I loved listening to these guys play Christmas music on the Big Piano…they were awesome!
Ground Zero from St. Paul’s Chapel. This Chapel served as a site where recovery workers could come rest, recover, and receive counseling. Amazingly, when the World Trade Centers collapsed, the church was not damaged at all. Not even a single window was broken. All the other buildings within blocks were damaged and the majority of windows were shattered. The only damage was to a single tree in the grave yard. While we were there, the author of the children’s book “The Little Chapel that Stood” was there signing books. I look forward to sharing this story with Ella and how this event changed our country forever! The emotion in this Chapel was overwhelming, but you could definitely feel the presence of God there!
I had so much fun in NYC and can’t wait to go back again soon!!! But, there’s no place like home and I couldn’t wait to get back home to HER…
…and her Daddy too, of course! :)
