Christmas Time!

This was our first Christmas in NYC and it was great!

Mum and Dad have some time off work and we've been hanging around the city, brunching, going to classes.. climbing ladders again...

..and catching up with friends such as Kaija and Aurelia for burgers and watermelon pops!

Unfortunately, Harrison got sick with a cold and then a tummy bug right before Christmas.

Christmas morning he awoke to open presents from Santa and vomit all over Mum (and the sofa, rug, sheets..)

He recovered in Mum & Dad's bed with Stella and dry cereal..

It didn't dampen his spirits too badly.. he still rallied to ride his brand new scooter! 

As did Stella!

The family collection of 'cat eye' diamante glasses were also a hit!

We had a beautiful Christmas lunch at our friend Jack's house! Mum is so upset that she didn't take any photos! We were a little out of sorts and had a big nap during Christmas lunch (like Pop and Pa do each year) and she forgot to take any when we woke up :(

That night we came home and discovered the self timer on the camera. We both worked out how to use it and practiced taking photos of Mum, Dad and the two of us..

We also don't mind a 'self portrait' or two..

Merry Christmas everyone! Xo

SANTA!

We met Santa today!!

We look a little scared.. but that was because we were afraid he knew we had been a combination of naughty and nice this year ;)

He gave us lollipop's afterwards which makes him 'cool' in our books..

TREE

Last weekend we went Xmas tree shopping with Mum & Dad! 

It's been a week and we've only broken 1 decoration so far!

Potty training has been put on hold until January. We were doing excellent and loved sitting on the potty, however Mum & Dad under estimated how much work it would take on their end and they decided to post-pone until January when things are quieter (Mum was also having issues with the fact we are growing up so fast...she is struggling to let go..)

To remind her how young and irresponsible we still are we took turns climbing a tall ladder in the apartment.

Brrr....

As we mentioned... winter has finally arrived and it's cold!! Perfect time to test out our new boots!

And our winter attire...

Visit the squirrels in Madison Square Park..

And the 'fallen' Fall leaves in Central Park...

Following all this it's home to relax on the potty..

SAN FRAN FOR NICK & SHAWN'S WEDDING!

What an incredible few weeks we have had! Hurricane Sandy hit NYC and caused a black out which meant we lost power for 6 days! We left the city after 3 days bound for San Francisco for Uncle Nick and Aunty Shawn's wedding! We had such a lovely time in San Fran bonding with Nanna JJ & Pop. They didn't even mind when we woke them up each day at 5:30am!

We also got to hang out with our Aunties & Uncles and cousins!

Our first In & Out Burger!

We were battling colds all week but had a great time getting dressed up to be ring bearer and flower girl at the wedding!

We love our Aunty Shawn and are so excited she is officially part of our family! 

We are home in NYC and power is back and it's cold!!! More on that later...
