We had lot's of Christmas fun in December. We have a new tradition of going to the Christkindlmarkt at This is the Place. It's a great way to set the Christmas mood. But our real kickoff is going to see Christmas in New York. This year we had to take a detour to California, but the payoff was that we got to fly Mint class!! It was amazing and so fun to have the kids (except Shayden, who met us there) get to experience it! This year it rained on our first day in NYC which the older kids loved for some reason. We had to buy Jasmine new shoes because the ones she wore had holes in them. We bought umbrellas and made the best of it, and it was still a fun day. Of course we saw Santa but we also walked along the Highline and ate at Chelsea Market. We shopped at several Christmas pop up markets. We stayed the night at a hotel in Queens, and the next day had much better weather. We hung out at Grand Central terminal and had some yummy bagels. We saw THE tree and braved the crowds.
It was a memorable trip!
In December we also:
*Saw some progress on the addition to the Browns home!
*Had a Gingerbread house night with all of the cousins which is now a tradition
*Jonas got a Grinch costume and surprised the kids in school one day. Another day Zuri was sick and he wore it to visit and cheer her up
*One Saturday we went out and had a fun day Christmas shopping and eating at Costa Vida.
*Zuri had a great sing a long performance and her outfit was so cute!
*Taye has been playing the cello this year and his teacher raves about him regularly. He had a concert at Tracy Aviary and did fantastic!
