It Really IS a Hellava Town!

New York City is simply amazing.  For SO many reasons.  But it's extra amazing at the holidays.

The hustle and bustle is even more so and there are festive decorations and lights and Christmas trees just about everywhere.

I have SO many things to say and could go on for days (and MANY posts!) about the things we did and saw but for now I'm just going to post some of my favorite photos.

It's the best I can do the day after I got back from NYC and the day before I leave for our family Christmas in Austin.

I hope you all have an exceedingly wonderful holiday, whichever one and ways you celebrate!
