TRIP TO NEW YORK CITY

My mom turned 50 way back in January! She decided that since she was 50 she was old enough to do what she wanted for her birthday:) So....she planned a trip to New York City with my aunt and some of her friends and she invited ME! We left bright and early on Tuesday morning and came home late Friday night! We had a great time....here are some pictures from the trip:)

Mom excited about her trip:)

Me and Mrs. Bartley on the way to the airport

Getting in our limo for our ride to our hotel:)

Mrs. Lindhorst and I in the limo

Our hotel!

All of us in our hotel lobby

First lunch in the city.....the pickles were very large:)

All of us in Central Park

Aunt Susan, Mom and I at Serendipity

My very large frozen hot chocolate that was SO SO good!



Rockefeller Centre

Mrs. Bartley and I in Times Square the next morning

Mom trying to get a better deal on her shoes! I think almost everyone bought shoes on this trip:)

In Macy's!

Eating at Olive Garden. Mom wasn't with us that night.....


Good ole Times Square!

Thought I'd get a really really really large ice cream.....I didn't eat too much and I felt so sick. Eyes are bigger than my stomach, I guess!!

On Thursday, Tina came into the city to meet me! We went to Canal Street for some Coach purses from inside a van:) It was so much fun to see her again!


After we got the purses, I got this guy to make a sign for Aimee for her birthday.

Then I made Tina walk across the Brooklyn Bridge! I know she really appreciated it:)


Tina had to leave at 3 to get back home so I dropped my stuff off at the hotel and went shopping by myself for a few hours! Everyone else was who knows where, and I didn't want to sit all alone at the hotel! I went to Trump Tower to get a starbucks so I took a picture of myself in the mirror going down the escalator:)


Me and Nemo in the Disney Store!

I was walking back to the hotel later and saw a huge crowd of people all looking up at the New York Times building. I looked up and saw a guy scaling the outside of the building like Spiderman! It was so crazy.....I kinda missed getting the guy on the building! It was in the papers the next day though. 2 guys did it that day!

We went to Juniors and my mom got a "side" of broccoli! It was so huge.........

It was sometime after midnight and we were walking through Times Square. This guy was just standing there with a huge snake around his neck. He scared my aunt half to death! I got my picture with him, but I still have no idea what in the world he was doing just standing there!! Crazy people out there, I guess!

In the M & M store. My mom felt the need to take the picture crooked:)

I took about a million pictures in the American Girl Store because I promised Aimee I would! (okay...the truth is that I just love that store:) It really is the coolest store ever!!

Leaving our hotel in our black limo for the airport:( We all had a wonderful time and I am so glad that my mom let me be part of her special trip! Love you, Mom!

What an amazing trip! I loved all the pictures! How fun! I can tell you haven't changed much at all!

I loved the butterfly party idea. I need all the ideas I can get--two birthdays coming up back to back! Such a cute party Aimee had!

She is adorable. I can't believe she is five (Sabrina turns five in October as well.)Happy Birthday, Aimee!
