This trip was planned for Reese’s 13th birthday. Being that she turned 13 in September, I thought it would be so magical for the whole family to go to NYC (Dec 11-14) at Christmas.
We packed in all the NYC magic - soaring at Rise in Times Square, taking in the views at Summit @ Vanderbilt, indulging at Rolf’s and Serendipity 3, wandering Central Park and going to the Museum of Natural History, playing all afternoon at FAO Schwartz, strolling through the holiday markets at Bryant Park, watching the Rockettes light up Broadway, shopping on 5th Avenue, eating Brooks’ favorite (Val’s Pizza…twice), and yes, visiting Rockefeller Center every day. I am fully obsessed with that beautiful tree.🎄

Shopping on 5th Avenue🛍️
Matt and Brooks wanted nothing to do with shopping, and this was one of the things I promised Reese we would do on her birthday trip. She and I had a great time shopping all afternoon while the boys found a restaurant to watch the Hogs play. We ate lunch at Trump Tower and shopped ‘til we dropped. I loved this afternoon because I got to spend all day with my girl. ❤️

Our last night we went to catch one more glimpse of the tree at Rockefeller Center and then to watch the Saks 5th Avenue light show. We flew out Sunday afternoon and received a snowy send off as we left. We were delayed 3 hours, but made it home by 6:00. It was the most PERFECT CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY and I couldn’t be more thankful.❤️
In route to the airport… two thumbs up for NYC!
