The Big Wigs Meet the Big Apple

The Big Wigs spent their spring break visiting the Big Apple (and us, of course!) They stayed in our humble abode and we spent our time exploring the city, eating tasty treats, talking and, as always, entertaining and being entertained by the little mister. T's favorite activity was taking Papa by the hand and saying, "Papa, come wit me!" He would then bring him into his bedroom (or ours) and shut the door...keeping his papa all to himself! He also loved the chocolate milk GG let him have in the morning, and the jump-jumping he was able to do with Chaya! Pretty much, it was his dream come true.

T's face pretty much looked like this the entire week! We ate so many fun treats, including strawberry cheesecake from Carnegie Deli and THE BEST COOKIES EVER from Levains bakery.




We took a double decker bus tour around the city and it was awesome to see all the sites (especially since it was a warm-ish day). The PA system wasn't stellar and the driver had a thick spanish accent, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.


We also put them to work while they were here! Kate fixed T's bike seat and Cars book, GG bought hooks for the bathroom and cleaned like crazy to make our home sparkly, and Papa put new lightbulbs where they were needed. They also bought me some new yummy-smelling candles and I am SO excited!


Poor James is BUSY BUSY with finals just around the corner, so we didn't see much of him during their visit. Luckily, Papa was able to join Jimmy for a full day of law school classes on Wednesday. He also spent one morning studying at home, and used his parents as study-partners. It was great to have his cute face close!


On Saturday there was an Easter egg hunt and brunch in our apartment building. Unfortunately, we were experiencing some serious April showers so the egg hunt was moved indoors.



T did a great job finding eggs that were hidden in "easy" places (like in the corner)...


...and also eggs that were hidden in not-so-easy locations (like the lamp).


Since the rain kept us indoors, we decided to color some eggs. Who knew that easter egg dye was so easy (and inexpensive) to make. I don't know that I'll ever buy a kit again! Kate made some beautiful eggs. T, on the other hand, cracked every egg he touched!




T and I were both in tears when their car service pulled away from our building. I remember being so devastated as a kid when I left my grandparents house...and T is experiencing the same thing. It took some candy, the movie Cars, and lots of hugs to dry his crocodile tears. We loved their visit and are looking forward to seeing them again in no time!
