mommy hits the "big apple"

Our Aunt Courtney turned the big 3-0 this past weekend, and she wanted to celebrate by going to New York City. So, Mommy, Aunt Kelly, & Aunt Helen went with her to celebrate. Mommy says they had a REALLY fun weekend...she was gone for 3 1/2 days. Daddy took such good care of us while Mommy was away...but he didn't take any pictures. So, here are a few that Mommy took while she was away.
Once they got to their hotel room, Mommy attempted this first group picture before leaving for dinner...what a cute group!
Each day was spent with lots of shopping, walking, eating, talking, & laughing. From Macy's & Bloomingdales to China Town & the subway, it was a really fun time. Here they all got "make-overs" by the ladies at Bare Escentuals. Mommy said it was so much fun...and they all turned out quite lovely! (Don't they look great for having shopped for over 6 hours, including China Town, and walked through various bouts of rain?)
The night of Aunt Courtney's birthday, they went to eat at a very yummy authentic Italian restaurant. They took this picture right before walking in...
Mommy said it was such a great trip. Spending 7 hours in Macy's (7 stories of shopping) was a huge highlight, getting make-overs was fun, having dessert every night after dinner was yummy...but in the end, it was just having a girl's weekend away was the best part.
