Bucket List Item: Check!

If you'll notice, there is a Bucket List page on my blog (for all you technically challenged people click HERE), so obviously when I get to mark things off of said bucket list it's a blog worthy ordeal!!!!

Bucket list item achieved: visit NYC at Christmas time.

WE SPENT THE ENTIRE SECOND WEEK OF DECEMBER IN NEW YORK AND IT WAS GLORIOUS!!!

Yes that sentence required all caps. Yes it was everything I thought it would be. Yes it was magical. Yes it was crowded but I DO. NOT. CARE.

So many lights. So many beautiful lights!

Thanks to our Hostesses with the Most(eses) we were able to stay FOR FREE.  And thanks to many of our fabulous friends we had excellent tour guides.

Highlights were:

-Seeing lots of my friends from college that I love and miss so much.

- TOP 'O THE ROCK!

B-E-A-Utiful!!! 

- The Christmas lights of Dyker Heights.  This is a must see. Truly ridiculous and amazing and I can't even begin to wonder how much money is spent on these Christmas light displays but I thank these generous jolly folks from the bottom of my heart for their Christmas spirit.

I mean, realllllly?! Look at this insane yet amazing display of Christmas cheer!! I can't imagine the electric bill. 

-  Seeing PIPPIN!

-  Seeing PETER AND THE STARCATCHER!

- Having magical moments in the snowy city.

- Tiffany and Co <3 <3 <3

- Did I mention my awesome friends?

Some of my lovelies enjoying the Christmas lights! 

- and walking 10,000 + steps per day burning lots of calories and then immediately negating those burned calories with cheesecake and pizza and FOOD. Just so much food!!

We had a blast and I'm so glad that I got to experience Christmas time in the city with my love and some of my favorite people!

Take THAT bucket list! 1 down...an endless amount to go!
