The Big Tree

Well Christmas has come and gone, but before we could officially ring in 2011, we had to squeeze in a family outing to Rockefeller Center and the famous tree.

Now all season long, C has been in awe of Christmas “trees.” Spotting them blocks away, waking up each morning saying “tree, tree” and loving the big one on the Today show! So I knew he would get a kick out of seeing such an enormous Christmas tree!

On the Thursday before New Year’s, hubby took another unprecedented day off, and we headed out around 10am. We rode the subway with C in the Bugaboo Frog, because the sidewalks were still slushy from the blizzard (usually we take the Uppa Baby G-Luxe on subway trips, but with two people to carry the Bugaboo down the station stairs, it worked out).

Not only did C love seeing “choo choos” pass while we were on the subway, he LOVED the tree! “Tree, tree, tree” he kept saying, all while pointing up at the beautiful tree. We took photos, and let C run around for a few minutes before stumbling upon the Lego Store (which is new to Rock Center, its where Brookstone used to be) and C enjoyed playing at the Lego Table, and especially liked cleaning up all the Legos on the table (he is really into "clean up" at the moment).

After the touristy fun, we headed over to Chipotle on 48^th street for an early lunch. C does love him some tortilla chips and enjoyed eating some rice out of daddy’s bowl. Couldn’t get him to try some guacamole though, kid doesn’t know what he is missing!

But alas, 2010, and Christmas Trees are now a thing of the past. Last week, we took ours down and put it back in the box and in the closet for next year. Bye Bye Tree!
