Steve, Lisa, Elizabeth and Emme came for a visit the week of Thanksgiving. They left behind 80 degree Texas weather to be greeted with our freezing temperatures! For weeks, Steve kept saying he wanted cold weather when they came. Well, he got his wish, and then some! (Note the ice in the water behind them. This is at the park by our house.)
Despite the cold weather, we spent the week touring the area. This picture was taken when we walked around Princeton University just before we stopped to get coffee and hot cocoa to thaw out.
We saw some of the sights in Philadelphia. This was particularly interesting to Elizabeth because she has been studying Benjamin Franklin in school.
For some reason, New York City always colder than New Jersey. In this picture, the kids are standing in front of the New York Public Library.
We saw A Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall and then walked to Rockefeller Center. These crazy girls actually wanted to get out on the ice and skate!
This is the view of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan Skyline from aboard the Staten Island Ferry.
On Thanksgiving Day, our friends Brian, Stacye, Amy and Alex joined us for dinner as well. When we were too full to move, the gals enjoyed beating the guys in Catch Phrase. (Even their cheating didn't help them win. Ha!)
And, to kick off the Christmas season, we continued our tradition of going to Palmer Square in Princeton for caroling and the lighting of the big Christmas tree! Ho! Ho! Ho!
