Klein's 3rd Christmas and a trip into the city.../3回目のクリスマスとちょっとマンハッタンまでの巻

The day began with the long awaited arrival of the Iwai Family Christmas Presents from Japan... So we wasted no time ripping into them and beginning our third Christmas. So grab your favorite beverage, pull on your Snuggie and make sure you have at least 10 minutes to enjoy the excitement of a mother and her daughter pulling gifts from a box.
今日、長い事待っていた日本の家族からの荷物が届いたので1分も待たずにクライン家の3回目のクリスマスをする事にしました。ちょっと長めのビデオだから十分時間がある時に何か飲み物を飲みながらママとマディソンがプレゼントを開けるのをお楽しみください。








After we had slept off our excitement we headed into the city to view the Holiday lights. Here we are on the subway platform in case you didn't believe us...
プレゼントを開け終わって家族3人でお昼寝をした後、マンハッタンまで綺麗な飾り付けを見に行って来ました。これは電車を待っている時に撮った写真...


Our first stop was Bryant Park where there is a free skating rink and a bunch of Holiday vendors around the park.
まず最初に行ったのはブライアントパーク、スケートリンクの周りに出ているいろいろなお店/屋台を見物しながらうろうろすることに...



From there we crossed the street to Anna's favorite Japanese bookstore, Kinokuniya, to both enjoy a snack and warm up... After that pit stop we headed toward Rockefeller Center for the grand finale...
そこから通りを渡ってママのお気に入りの紀伊国屋って言う本屋さんに立ち寄ってコーヒーを飲みながら一休み、阻止て目的地のロカフェラーセンターのツリーの向かって出発...

As we approached the Saks 5th Avenue building the snowflakes began to dance...see for yourself.
サクスフィフスアベニューに到着しそうな時にちょうど雪の結晶のダンスが始まりました。



We quickly walked by the holiday windows as well...
そして、窓のクリスマスの展示を見ながら歩いて...

We just thought these were kind of neat...

  1. The pink bunny pajamas remind me of A Christmas Story. Except that Madison is a baby and she is a girl... :)

    Those newspaper books are pretty nice. Lily had a few cloth books and they were nice because I didn't feel as bad when Lily tried to eat them.
