Christmas Kickoff



We officially started our holiday season with the South Street Seaport tree lighting. We were kind of cooped up inside all day so I rallied the troops and we headed down to the Seaport for the lighting ceremony.

It was a pretty cold night and we were all bundled up. Lyla was trying to figure out if she liked her new mittens. It is her first set of mittens with a thumb and she wasn't sure how she felt about that.


Drinking with her gloves was a challenge.

In all honesty, the pre-lighting entertainment was brutal. We hit our breaking point before the tree was lit and decided to bail and go out to dinner down the block. We went to Cowgirl Seahorse, which is literally in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge. I had been wanting to go for awhile to check it out as a possible location for Lyla's 2nd birthday party. Lyla approved of the french fries, so I think we have found a place.


On our way home after dinner, we got to see the lit tree.

Let the shopping begin!
