Camilla and Craig arrived last wednesday night and we have had a JAM PACKED 5 days since! We have been shopping, seen a Knicks Game (photo attached below), seen a few restaurants and bars, been to the Museum of Natural History, saw the Rockefeller Christmas Tree and saw the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular featuring the Rockettes!!!! We have had a FANTASTIC TIME!But most importantly we spent a day looking for and decorating the perfect (compact) Christmas tree. We found the one we liked on the Lower East Side and to decorate the tree I bought 300 lights and a collection of Red and
White/silver decorations. (I have attached a photo of the tree on Christmas Eve, above) I also made everyone select a personal decoration for the tree. Mum had a silver wine goblet, and Camilla had a pink sparkley ball, but it was craig's decoration that most impressed. A ceramic fireplace with 4 stockings with our names and "NYC 2006". (I've attached a photo of his decoration below)
Christmas Day we woke up around ten and opened presents whilst drinking Bloody Marys. We then headed off to Central Park to go Ice Skating (which despite the rain was fun and I DIDN'T fall over) After which we spent the afternoon at a local bar playing pool, before retiring to the apartment for a mammoth Turkey Christmas Dinner. Once dinner was completed we all crashed EXHAUSTED!!!WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY!
Camilla has now left to continue her adventure to India for New Years, and I'm back at work.
Now to plan New Years Eve!!!
