Thanksgiving in NYC was a blast. Peter and I stayed in Jersey city with Ryan and Mike and we met up with the family in NYC to share some memories and turkey. It was a whirlwind, but we saw two Broadway shows (Hair and Avenue Q, some saw the Toxic Avenger and Wicked, we split up in three different groups that particular night), went to the MOMA (saw an exhibit from Tim Burton that rocked), walked all over the city, went to the top of the Empire state building, rode in a limo, went out to eat a lot and spent a hell of a lot of money.

Thanksgiving dinner at the restaurant was excellent and later that night (after the Empire State building trip and limo ride) we talked and played drinking games at Aunt Mary and Uncle Joe’s place. Our friends Tommy and Dennis were in town and joined us. Also, Kristen joined us for dinner…..she’s an old friend of mine from CBS…so lots of fun guests hung out.

Odd things that happened; Uncle Joe got yelled at by some lady who asked if he spoke English…..Uncle Joe had a few words to say back and they weren’t nice. We won the lotto for Broadway tickets twice. All of us won for Hair, except for myself and Grambo, so we all got box seats for $25. I won for Wicked and got two front row tickets for $25 bucks.

We took the best family photo on top of the Empire State building…hahah it makes me laugh so hard looking at it. I posted it below. Matt is hidden behind Andy and you can see Andy is turned sideways talking to him, “What I’m not standing in front of you.” We will definitely have to take another family trip soon.

I’m in week 27 in the pregnancy and I’m getting big. Apparently the baby is the size of a small pot roast. Gross to think of her as food, but that’s what the book said. Also, my amniotic fluid has reduced in half so I should see feet and hands kicking me from within…..scary. I learned that the amniotic fluid was absorbed back into my body, I was afraid this would be coming out of me….hahahah. I felt great in NYC and this weekend….although I was a little pissed when I had to ask Peter for help tying my shoe :)
