Here we are at the Botanical Gardens in the Bronx. Since I missed the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center my family took pity on me and took me to see lots of trees, flowers, gingerbread houses, and even a holiday train with different buildings of New York made with all natural items and to scale.

This is the original 5.....Baby girl, My Mister, Lazy Daisy , boy wonder and big sister. This is the first time we have all been together in 2 years!

Boy Wonder was a great tour guide of Manhattan for big sis and hubby and they had a whirlwind adventure Friday. They went to the Moma and saw great art, Central Park, Trump Tower, Rockefeller Center, China Town, A Buddhist Temple, Strawberry Fields, the display windows of the huge department stores, a tour of Brooklyn and Boy Wonder's apartment as well as a tour of his work place in Chelsea.

Saturday after our tour of the Botanical Gardens we all went to eat at a very nice Mexican restaurant and visited baby sister's favorite places including Trader Joe's (wha a great place to get hard to find grocery items!)

Saturday evening we met Meghan (Boy Wonder's girlfriend) and went to Christmas Eve services. We also had a "Chinese Auction" with gag gifts that we all participated in. The best gift (or the one fought over the most) was a Santa hat with braids!

It was a really nice day and the weather was great for all our outdoor activities.

We really had a great time just being together.
