the tree: it's becoming an annual tradition

ok, so the picture is a little blurry but it's still a good family shot (courtesy of another tourist who offered to take it). as you've gleaned from my earlier posts today we visited NYC and of course that trip included a stop to Rockefeller Center to see THE (so i'm an ethnocentric New Yorker) Christmas tree there. it wasn't nearly as cold as last year which was great. it was however completely chaotic and jam packed full of holiday revelers, as is expected two weeks before Christmas.  

it should be mentioned once again that Arwyn is an amazing traveler. she was really well behaved all day despite having no nap (it's not required these days but it's helpful). we are lucky.
