Thanksgiving in NYC 2014

I realize that's been a long time since I last updated my blog.  It's been a busy past 7 months for me and it seemed I was never able to find the time. This year, I will do a better job of maintaining my blog!

We had a great visit to NYC for Thanksgiving.  Sidney and Cleo both loved riding the subway.

These were taken after a visit with Noma.

Running the streets with Noma!

We met Auntie Vivian at Cafe Luluc for our annual pilgrimage for the best pancakes on the planet.

 

Afterward, we went to a nearby park in Cobble Hill.

We spent quality time with Walter River, who I fell more in love with each minute I spent with him.

Our dinner at Westway Diner was fine. But I think we are due for finding a new Thanksgiving spot.

Cute 5 year-old fake smile made when told to "smile!"  Although, I think he and I are competing for the funniest looking smile. ;-)

A more genuine cutie boy smile.

Group shot! I know my hand is awkwardly placed and my hair looks crazy because my bun has shifted to one side. Aside from that it's a nice photo.

Cleo and Sidney being cute.  There is a previously-taken picture of Cleo wearing that hat when she's probably two years-old. It belonged to Isak's grandfather, Hyman.

The kids had fun at our VIP visit to The Museum of Natural History. Fran's mom, Evelyn, hooked us up with passes that got us into the special exhibits.  It was a busy, tiring day. Ahnya came with us.

Earlier in the day before the museum playing with Fran's daughter, Lily Rose, at Evelyn's house.

After the museum, we met Noma for dinner at the 82nd Street Diner.

Sidney is even more interested in subways now. He walks around pretending to be the voice of the conductor. He lists the stops that the F train makes as well as other trains. He really wants to take the train lines that we didn't take during our trip, e.g., M, B, etc.

Cleo says she wants to move to NY. They both love it there.  It was a great visit. It was wonderful seeing everyone.

I will be coming to town the weekend of Feb. 27-March 1 for Ahnya's Feb. 28 baby shower. Woo woo. Cannot wait for the baby to arrive in mid-April.
