Christmas in New York City

Bryan and I have had so much fun being in NYC for part of this Christmas. We had a blast ice skating with some friends at Bryant Park. The giant Christmas tree at the head of the ice skating rink made the experience all the more magical. I also posted some pictures of a Young Women's activity we had decorating for the ward Christmas party and a visit to the World Trade Center Memorial with our friends Matt and Amy!

Giving Thanks

This thanksgiving I would like to post some pictures of things I am grateful for this year! In no particular order...

El Barrio Mio

Bryan and I are so lucky to be able to attend the Spanish ward (church). We love everything about it, especially being able to serve with the great youth in our ward! Here are a few pictures of things we've enjoyed with el barrio!

Glass Bowl ya ya ..or plastic

When they say to use a glass bowl to caramelize walnuts.. They don't mean if the plastic bowls are easier to reach it's okay to use those instead.

Leaves falling everywhere..

When I was in third grade I wrote a poem that I thought for sure would make me famous after I entered it into the reflections contest at school ha ha.. For some reason I still remember the goofy thing and thong of it every fall...

Leaves in the mountains
Leaves in the trees
Leaves swirling everywhere,
In the lightly breeze
The days are getting colder
The skies are getting gray
So please come out and play
for the very last day.

I think it was my improper use of the word "lightly" that kept me from achieving fame ;)

Truman in Brooklyn

Truman, my way awesome father-in-law, came to visit us! We thought it would be fun to show him "Chinatown" aka 8th ave. in Brooklyn.. As we sat down we found out that he was going to Hong Kong the next day for a a week and was going to get his fair share of authentic Chinese food there.. Thanks Truman for being a good sport!

Fall Saturday Con Mi Amor

Central Park.. Visiting the Christmas section at Bloomingdales and Magnolia Bakery all with my sweetheart... What more could I ask for?

Spring in NYC

                                              I took my sis and mum to my super cool school

          You can't really see this very well but my mom got pooped on by a bird. We were laughing until she started laughing and said, " Dani did you forget this is your shirt I am wearing?" It wasn't very funny anymore.

                                     Bryan and I riding the subway sideways

                                I made my mom take this picture with these tulips because I think of her every time I see them. I think that is because my dad brought home hundreds of them from Amsterdam one time for her.

                                                  Bryan and Seeesss napping!

                   We went walking around Little Italy in search for some authentic "hole in the wall" Italian food and found just that at Sal's. Mmmm mmm! Mom's calazone was scrumpcious!

                                        

                                             My beautiful Mummsie and me in Central Park

We missed Sissy! So we decided that we are going to plan a repeat trip when sissy and baby can be in this picture.
