Christmas in NYC!

Yesterday we met a friend in the city. We took exactly TWO pictures.  Here is ONE of them.



Here is a shot of us 4 years ago in (almost) the exact same spot!


We have spent our first Christmas season in NJ starting new traditions. So far, we have:
1)  Gathered supplies for an Operation Christmas Child Shoebox
2)  Visited NYC
3)  Baked special Christmas cookies
4)  Watched Christmas movies every weekend.  We have enjoyed, "It's a Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Story."
5)  Planned to donate chickens to a needy family through World Vision.
6)  Partied with our new church family.  Joel wore a suit coat and tie. I dressed up in a cocktail dress.  We should have taken pictures!

We are really enjoying our new life in NJ.  It still doesn't feel QUITE like home, but it's getting  there.

Have you considered ducks instead of chickens? Flooding/high water for chickens can be deadly while for ducks it's simply an adventure!

I thought about ducks! You make a good point. Although, if there were flooding I'm not so sure the family would be able to keep track of the ducks....Joel and I will discuss it when we donate!
