Preping for Christmas 2012

This year we stayed in NYC for the holidays. It was nice and relaxing, but I struggled a bit to get into the "holiday spirit." So we did some things to set the mood.

We made gingerbread houses with our friends. Please note the "accident" our snowman had outside...
Then of course we went and saw the Rockefeller tree and walked the windows on 5th Ave. 
Bergdorf Goodman always, always, always has the best windows. I loved the sneaky action going on with Santa in the red window...
We got our tree all set up
Saw the Bryant Park tree with friends and went again to see Rockefeller. Yes, Dan has on a mustache and yes I made him shave it.
We got festive for our ward's Christmas Sunday, and spent Christmas eve being seranaded by beautiful music at Riverside Church's program.
Dan let me open this year's ornament on Christmas Eve so I could enjoy it a little longer. Can you guess who the girlie tutu represents? 
It wasn't quite the same without going home, but we get to relax and start/continue our own traditions.
