Happy Holidays!

Christmas this year was simply amazing. Not only did Chase and I get to go home and spend time with our families, it was truly a year to be thankful for many of life's blessings. Some of which include Nicole and her continued recovery, our wonderful families, and of course the below....

Ava and her "Mona Lisa" pose...
Emerson and his enthusiasm for "chasing trucks"....
And of course Caroline and all her style.

It was hard to come back to NY after such a long visit, but we know we will be home again in no time. Until then, have a happy New Year!

SNOW Day!

We finally got our 1st snow storm of the season in the city! Friday it snowed around 2-4 inches within the city...just in time for the holidays! Here are some pictures taken around the South Street Seaport.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

It's officially Christmas! As Chase and I were out and about today we took a detour to go see the Tree at Rockefeller Center. Even though it wasn't night time where we could see the lights, it was still pretty to see. AND we officially finished our Christmas shopping today! Go us! Thanks to some early shopping and our new best friend called the Internet, we have completed Xmas List 08. Now we can relax and enjoy the holiday season.

The Perfect Day

Shopping in SoHo, Seaport Christmas Carols, ToysRus mayhem, and ice skating in Central Park summarizes our Saturday afternoon. That and lots of Uncle Chase & Aunt Jordan quality time.


We took Caroline downtown to see our apartment and play with the kitties. On the way we thought we'd show her a few famous NY icons: the Bull, Wall Street, the Statue of Liberty, etc. Afterwards, we went down by the Seaport to listen to the Big Apple Chorus sing Christmas Carols.
After the Seaport and a mistake trip to ToysRus, we took Caroline ice skating in Central Park. She did great for her first time ever on any kind of skates! It even started snowing while we were on the ice and we turned around and saw a proposal no more than 5 feet from us! Below is a picture of the happy couple right after he got down on one knee.

Today we'll go back to just being Jordan and Chase and count down the days to Christmas when we get to go back to being Aunt and Uncle. :)

Bryant Park

Chase and I decided we would start trying to do a date night every now and then. First night was at Celsius Bar in Bryant Park by the holiday ice skating rink. It was a fun treat and we got a little shopping done at the same time around the area.
