Visitors- 6

Our last visitors of the year were my sister and her family. It was so much fun to have them come visit us here, and do all the fun activities with them. They were here for only a short time so we quickly started doing things with them. So as soon as Spencer was out of school on Thursday we headed out the door to go to Macy's and show them Holiday Lane, which is this magical place on Macy's 9th floor to all things with Christmas. 

After spending some time there, and buying some ornaments we headed over to see if Santa was in so we could have the boys tell him what they wanted for Christmas. Surprisingly there was NO LINE?!!? It was awesome. 

Here are the boys during the walk through a wonderland before seeing Santa. 

Here he is!!! Spencer was telling him what he wanted while Wyatt waited.

Now it was Wyatt's turn to tell the big man what he wanted. 

After that we headed over to Times Square so they could see it at night. They loved it! 
I love this picture of them enjoying all the sights. :) 

The next day we headed over to the Today show, which all three of them were seen on TV!!! Along with my hand waving in the background. :) We got tickets to go to the Top of the Rock and also take the NBC Studio Tours, which was a very smart move, especially if you love NBC shows (which I do!). Before doing the tour we went and looked around the NBC store, and I found this AWESOME shirt!!! Love The Office! 

We could not take any pictures while on the tour, but it was really cool, no celeb sightings though.

Afterwards we looked over at the ice skating rink and saw they were shooting a commercial, show, or something? There was a choir there along with lots of cameras and directors and other people. 

Here we were waiting for the tour, and saw a familiar face in the wreath! :) haha! Wyatt and I were having some fun. 


View from Top of the Rock. BREATH-TAKING! This would be Central Park.

Other side of the island from Top of the Rock. That's the Empire State Building.

We walked up Fifth Avenue to go look at all the window displays, and walked through St. Paul's Cathedral. It was breath-taking too! 

Loved the stain-glassed windows.

Walked by The Trump Tower and went inside to see the lobby, remember the wreath from the last post?

Tall Trump Tower.

Finally made it to FAO Schwarz!!!! Look at those smiles!! 

That night we went to the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular! This is the lobby of Radio City Music Hall. Fancy.

A top view of the lovely chandelier.

After Radio City Music Hall we decided to head over to Juniors'. This place is known for it's INCREDIBLE cheesecakes. We heard about it from one of our other visitors (Thanks Deric and Stephanie!!). It wasn't too far away so we walked to it, and tried to figure out what to eat. 

Wyatt had spaghetti and meatballs, and look at the size of that meatball!!!! He had three of those, you definitely get a lot for what you pay for at this place. It was really good too. 

All you gotta do is ask Heath how his Chicken Pot Pie was. This this was as big as that plate and at least an inch and a half high! He wasn't sure if he would be able to eat it all, but then tasted it and was floored! I think they would come back to just eat at Juniors' again. We took two slices of cheesecake home, and Liza devoured those, and loved them. So NYC tip: go to Juniors'


While taking pictures Spencer wanted me to get a picture of him drinking through two straws. :) Funny kid. 

That was just a day and a half with Liza and fam. The next post will show you everything else we did.
