New York City March 2013 - My First Visit

I took my first trip to New York city at four years of age! I loved it! We stay a block from Times Square and a few blocks from Central Park. This was my first taxi ride and boy was it fast! After we settled in at the hotel we headed to Times Square! I was really wowed by the tall buildings, yellow taxis and people. We went to Toy's R Us, M&M, and then over to FAO Schwarz. I was in pure heaven. Not only did they have the best toy's that I had ever seen but oh my the candy store stole my heart! I guess I am like my Daddy! I love my sweets! After spending some time n FAO Schwarz we headed over to Central Park. Central Park is beautiful! I can't believe this park is nestled right in that big city. All the horse and carriages just took my breath! We rode the Merry Go Round and walked all around the park. The smell of those roasted peanuts were so nice mixed in with the cold chilly air. We were bundled up and the sun was nice and bright. That night we had the best pizza in the world.

The next day we headed to the Zoo in Central Park. How cool is a zoo with the big buildings surrounding it. We then headed to lunch (yes more pizza) and then to see "The Lion King". This was the best broadway show! We rode the red double-decker bus all over NYC. We went to the Ground Zero Memorial. My Mama told me it was a Memorial Park but I just didn't really understand.
There wasn't a swing or really anything kid friendly. I told my Mama that I didn't really understand and no one was telling me! My Mama said she was explain when I was older. I also got a chance to see Battery Park and The Statue of Liberty. We wanted to walk across the Brooklyn
Bridge and get some more pizza. We just ran out of time! There is so much to do!

We hope to come back at Christmas to see all of the lights. I just love NYC!

Mama get's to shop for my dress and take ton's of pictures of us before we leave! We went to the dance with my friend Cameron and her father Mr. Adam. It so fun to go out with just Daddy!

Christmas 2012 - 4 Years Old

This Christmas was very busy!   I had a visit from my Grandmother and Paw Paw Pat. They flew all the way from Texas! I went to see the play Cinderella at the "Little Raleigh Theater with my best friend Mary Eliza and then Disney On Ice!   I also went to see the live Nativity at Hayes Barton Baptist Church. Afterwards we ate Chinese food and watched my Daddy's favorite Christmas movie "The Christmas Story". I took a picture with the leg lamp! Crazy!

We did a lot of fun things during the visit with my Grandmother and Paw Paw Pat.  We made a beautiful gingerbread house made out of yummy candy! We also took them to "The Pit" to taste some North Carolina Barbecue. We had a great visit. I wish they didn't live so far away! Me and my best friend Mary Eliza went to see Cinderella. The stepsisters were really funny looking but Cinderella was just beautiful. We got to visit with them after the show but I wasn't crazy about taking pictures with them. My friend Mary did! Maybe next year! I went to Pullen Park and rode on the "Santa Train"! It was at nighttime and every thing was lit up! I still wasn't interested in sitting in Santa's lap! I do like to look at him from a distance.

Santa also paid me a visit on Christmas Eve! I guess I must have been really good because he left me a lot of toys! I got to play with them for a while and then it was off to my cousins' house for Christmas dinner and the best thing of all, opening more presents!
