Christmas Time in The Big Apple

Avery after a long day in the big city

Mommy, Daddy, and I decided to fly off to the Big Apple to see my Auntie Em last week.  Here's are some of the pictures and videos from our super fun winter trip.


Legs kicked up, reclining, watching 'toon,
and eating snacks is how I like to fly!


We started off the trip spending lots of time
in auntie's apartment playing Scrabble
(I like to play without any clothes on) ...

... and then coloring on the floor ...

... and showing off my dance moves ...


... and taking baths in "big city"colored water ...


... and then finally deciding to get dressed 
and go play outside ...


... where we would have donuts in the park ...

... and then after all that sugar 
I would chase Auntie around and around ...

... and then do something I never get to do while 
at home, like kicking tons of leaves ...


... and then play on all sorts of interesting 
big city park toys in Auntie's backyard!


Then we would take the subway 
into the bigger big city ...



... where sometimes it was completed packed ...

... and other times it was completely empty except for us.


In the bigger big city we would walk and walk and walk ...



... we would go uptown ...

... to midtown ...



... to downtown ...

... to even down by the water to see the Statue of Liberty herself!

And all the interesting city people we ran into, 
like Micky and Minnie out shopping ...


... and fairy snow princesses ...




... and weird gold dancing monkeys!

And all the super fun toys I saw everywhere ...



... there were so many toys that I 
couldn't hardly slow down to explain it all ...

... like cute cuddly things ...

... to kitchenette and cookery things ...

... to fun puppets and great books ...

.... and even places where you could draw on the 
walls with crayons ... at least I hope so anyway!

There was so much neat stuff that I had 
to buy something for someone, 
so I picked out a great book for the new baby 
that will be here soon!


Then we went to museums where I got to see so many 
old dinosaur bones, even all put back together ...


... and then neat stuffed fish displays ....

... and even monstrous sea creatures joking around with each other!



Auntie and Daddy even ran in a race ...

... it was fun to watch, but really really cold out!


When it was time to go, I wanted to leave 
Auntie with a special present so I got her a 
Christmas tree after she went to work ...

... and then I decorated it all myself, 
with candy canes and bulbs ...

... and tinsel and lights ...

... it turned out fabulous!!!

Here's a video of the fun I had decorating the Christmas tree ...


Thanks Mommy and Daddy for taking me 
to see my Auntie Em!!!  See you soon, Auntie!!!
