NYC + West Point!

In October Will and I took a trip to NYC!
 We landed, checked into our hotel, and then went straight to Eatly for a yummy lunch on their rooftop restaurant.
 It was amazing.
 Our first night there we had some drinks in our hotel's bar and then met some friends for dinner.
 Will's 15 year West Point reunion was the next day so we were up early and headed straight there.
 How cute was my cadet?!

Now with wives.
So humbling being on their campus.  
Every American should experience it in their lifetime.


We snuck into their barracks and caught a plebe (freshman) checking himself out. I was quick to ask for a pic with him.
Near Trophy Point, looking up the Hudson River.

When we got back into the city we enjoyed some snacks and drinks at a rooftop bar. It was so much fun!
  The next day we were up early and had a yummy yummy breakfast at Lafayette.
Then walked all over.  At one point we ended up in Washington Square Park and spotted Alec Baldwin and his 30-year-old wife.
Black Tap in the meat packing district for a beer and milkshake stop.
Dinner at Rosemary's with my stud of a husband.

After dinner we stopped by Keens for one last NYC drink.
Benjamin appreciated my pic with a huge Lego.
Back with my babies!

Thanksgiving!

 School Feasts!






 Thanksgiving at the lake! We had gorgeous weather the whole time.
 "Save me!"

 Which one is Crew?
 We love Uncle Brian.


 People comment all the time that when Amanda and I are together you can't tell who belongs to whom.  Love my village.
 
 Audrey was Tula's little helper and got the table all ready.
Our outdoor feast!  Tula outdid herself!
The newly engaged couple!  We are so happy Grant found Jessica.  She is a blessing for sure!
Thanksgiving bonfire.
Tula always knows how to make things extra special.  She made a tree that we all wrote on leaves what we were thankful for.  The kids loved it.
Amanda took this sweet little family of fours Christmas card pictures. Needless to say... we are all so thankful for many reasons this year, but I think these two little men top the list!
