McCombs Family: Christmas in New York

So I warned everyone that I wouldn't be good at keeping the blog up but here's some catch ups. We spent about six weeks in New York incorporating Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mailee's birthday and New Year's into one trip. The kids and I had a lot of fun (I wished I could stay longer) but the kids wanted to get back to be with daddy. I had a few blonde moments and forgot to take my camera with me when we went into the city so the Thanksgiving pics are the only city pics I have. Oh well. We had fun spending Christmas with my famiy. We went into Manhattan for Mailee's birthday and took the kids to the M&M store, a huge Toys R Us store (it is 4 floors with a full size ferris wheel inside the store, can you believe that!) and a martian them restaurant called Mars 2112. We went with my aunt, cousin, sister, brother in law and niece and nephew. I think we all had fun but were happy to leave. My brother in law's family throws a huge New Year's Eve party where they rent a hall, have a dj and catering. It was a lot of fun! The girls and I danced the whole night and were exhausted the next day. We left with my grandma in tow back home on the second and ran into a lot of bad weather. (By the way, avoid Nebraska when you can during winter!) We spent a couple of days in Colorado with my aunt and left to come home, of course we hit a blizzard in the mountains seeing as I LOVE snow so much! It has taken me nearly a month to recuperate from the trip and try to catch up on blogging. So, that was our trip to New York. I can't wait to go back but I'm flying next time!!
Here are some pics from Christmas and Mailee's birthday.
