ohhh i am still on my happy cloud from our thanksgiving trip to NYC! it was so delicious to spend 2 days with the whitneys, we love them and miss them so so much...
the surprising of the girls was CLASSIC, i'm talking jaws to the floor and eyes popping out of their heads! (jeff caught it on camera so check tara's blog later for pics) needless to say, the pair of them were glued to each others side the whole time.
highlights included a lot of walking, talking, cracking up, photo-taking, ice skating in bryant park, MOMA, a d-i-y indian buffet in the hotel room, macy's parade, the staten island ferry, bad insider jokes, street snacks and staring longingly into one anothers eyes. oh, and banjo's calling jeff "the man".
you better believe that when a camera comes out (which it will!), we know how to work it...
(attached via invisible velcro. like mamas, like daughters)
it was so special and beautiful to explore this amazing city with our friends. to cry and laugh and squeeze each others hands. to see our childrens special bond and soak up the new memories they were making. to have the master map reader/subway decoder/clipboard-of-fun organiser "the man" (jeff) to put our trust in and enjoy NYC!
just some good good times with some good good people. our people!
now THAT is what it is all about. LOVE. beyond words.

Oh so sweet. A few little tears seeping out my eyes here girl! I love the boys with Yindi, I love banjo on jeff's shoulders, Anna taking photos of Yindi and just how happy you all look. (Ella loves ivy's fox jumper- one of your little numbers????). So glad you had such a wonderful time.
