Chatty Kady: Thanksgiving

Mom and I... and my slippers.

My sister surprised the rest of my family this year by bringing me home! It was the first time I'd been home for Thanksgiving in 3 years! It was so much fun and I'm so grateful that I got to spend the holidays with my family!

Mary Ellen (my Mom) kept saying "oh my goodness!" over and over again when she first saw me, and then asked me if I'd gotten kicked out of college. I'm not sure where that thought came from! I quickly reassured her I was still a student in good standing.


Things got a little bit crazy... Oh the Welch Clan.


Surprised Faces!

After Thanksgiving Sarah (my sister) surprised us with a trip to New York City and tickets to the see the Christmas Spectacular Show at Radio City, featuring... the Rockettes!!! I've always loved them since I was a wee little Kady who would wait all year just to watch them on the Thanksgiving Day Parade. The show was simply fantastic!!! It even had LIVE camels and sheep in it!!! Might I add that the weather could NOT have been more perfect. It was 70 degrees and completely comfy weather for no coat! This is certainly a rarity for the Grand Ole city.

Radio City Music Hall!!! All decked out for Christmas :)

We walked around Times Square and 5th Ave, bought Godiva chocolates for $14 (who spends that kind of money on chocolate?... We do.) We went to Central Park, the Plaza Hotel, I accidentally tried to break into a cupcake place and had a total blast. We had dinner at this fantastic little place called The Glass Tavern, and later Sarah and I had pizza right in Times Square. I LOVE NYC and kept yelling about how I could live there and be totally happy and content. I just love the fast paced way of life and the hustle and bustle of it all. If you've never been to the city of cities- well that is just crazy talk!! Everyone should make it their next trip!
