Santa Visit at Macy's

On Monday we took the girls into the city to sit on Santa's lap at Macy's. They had an elaborate "Santa Land" set up that you journeyed through on your way to see the big man. Whitney was excited to see him and just ran right up to his lap when it was her turn. He didn't even have to ask what she wanted, she just told him right away, "A sparkly bouncy ball!" We put Lindsey up on Santa's other knee and got a decent picture. After Santa we went to see a puppet show in Macy's, which was, we think, an abbreviated version of Miracle on 34th St. (neither one of us have seen it). But it was really neat because they had marionette puppets that were very pretty. Whitney liked the show, but got to be a little lengthy for her, especially with an old, yucky ear infection brewing. After that we walked down 5th Avenue to see all the decorated store fronts and made our way to Rockafeller Center for Whitney to see the "big tree". Another fun filled day in the city and only a few tears shed by Whitney when it was time to leave. That girl loves the city!
