Christmas in NJ & NYC

We spent some of Christmas this year with Dustin's family up in New Jersey. We had to fly home earlier than expected on Christmas Eve day due to storms in Atlanta. We ended up only being in New Jersey for a day and half. But, we made the best of our time there and had a ton of fun.
Joni and Zach on our way to the NYC bound train. In front of Macy's All bundled up! The window displays at Macy's were beautiful. Times Square Shiny McD's
Shake Shack! So good, just as I remember them.
Our tiny corner to eat. We are lucky we even got seats. It was madness in there!
It was cold, very cold.
We love NYC!
We conveniently walked right past Magnolia Bakery. Naturally we had to pick up a few cupcakes.
The Tree
Headed back to the train station.
Christmas Eve morning was when we found out that Delta had cancelled a ton of flights into Atl. We knew the only way we would ever get home over the next few days is if we left that day (got to love standby!) My sister in law Amanda was awesome and turned Christmas Eve dinner into Christmas Eve lunch, so that we could all eat before we had to head to the airport. The food was delish and she even broke out her beautiful hand painted Mexican dishes just for us.
Josh and Amanda even let Zach open a few presents early before we had to leave.

New York looks so wonderful! Someday I will get there around this time of year :) Great Pictures.

How fun! Sorry your trip was cut short. I wish we could have come. Too bad they don't live just a little closer. Like 10 hrs closer. Maybe we can plan another time to meet out there! So glad you had fun. Zach looks so big now!
