These past few weeks have been crazy, but seriously some of the best few weeks. Our schedules have been all over the place, and even during this busy time, we are making sure our kids get to experience all things Christmas-y in the city. It’s been hard, but it’s always so rewarding. River is so excited for every little adventure, tree, present, you name it. Oak, Oak is at that golden age of being so wide eyed. It’s all so new, and probably so crazy to him. He just looks around and stares. Occasionally, he’ll smile and laugh, and we’ll all laugh, because that’s what you do.
I’ve teamed up with my friends over at Ergobaby to showcase a few of their carriers in our everyday life. These are rather simple traditions in the making, that I’m so happy to have our Ergo a part of. There’s so much to do and see here, and doing it without hassle or discomfort, is a goal of mine. Our Ergo helps with that.
We took the kids to see Santa one evening. It was probably horrible timing, but we had no other day to do it. We bundled them up and braced ourselves for the long wait at Macy’s to see the jolly old fellow. River had talked such a big game about seeing Santa for a few days there, that I actually was a little convinced that this year was the year she would actually go through with it. She didn’t. And that’s okay too. We had a great time leading up to it, and we walked away with a good photo of Oak, and some hilarious ones of River melting in front of Santa. These are the things I know make up their youngest years of life, and the things I will always hold so close to my heart.
More photos of our Santa visit behind the break.

love the photos! I just got to experience the chaos of seeing Santa ourselves for the first time at ABC. Though I found that Macy's offers an online appointment to beat the lines. Maybe something helpful next season when Oak is a bit more active 😉
Happy holidays to you and your family.
