2010 Holiday Blizzard!

The Holiday Blizzard!


Wow! When I heard the original forecast about the impending snowstorm, I was very skeptical. As the first snowflakes began to show themselves, I stated to believe that the actual storm would really happen. But, I had NO idea what was to come. The snow fell and fell and fell. The blizzard seemed to be never ending as inch after inch of snow white flakes piled up on top of the steps, sidewalk and roads. The cars seems to disappear.

As the night went on thunder and lightening filled the sky. It was a storm like I had not seen in a long time. When all was said and done, our family woke up to over 3o inches of SNOW!! The kids jumped with happiness when they opened the front door! It was Emily’s first big snowstorm and my sons had not seen a biggie like this before in their lives. They headed out for some “snowfun“!

Wow! I’m really not a big fan of snow at all, but it was pretty….I just hope it’s not a prelude to the winter of 2011! Happy Snow Days!

A New York City Christmas!



A New York City Christmas!


Even though I did not actually spend Christmas in New York City, I did spend a lot of time there leading up until Christmas. It seems no matter how much time you have in NYC, it’s never enough!

I felt especially blessed to share the holiday experience with my family. I was lucky enough to see Tiffany’s lit up as a gift box and their gigantic crystal light display illuminating the streets. Radio City always know how to do it up right with wooden soldiers that go alongside the famous sign as they tip over every few minutes!


Of course my yearly favorite was Rockefeller Center where people lined the surrounding streets shoulder to shoulder trying to get a glimpse of the humongous tree. But the crowd was well worth it! The tree at Rock Center was just breathtaking! It’s really an experience you would not want to miss if you are in the area.

The windows all the way down 5th Avenue were adorned with different scenes, one more beautiful than the nest. I think no matter what street you walked down from Times Square up to Central Park you were able to be taken in by the city lights! It’s makes me sad to see the Christmas season come to an end, but I do look forward to the Christmas lights in New York City every year!
