We had a terrific long weekend together. We spent Thursday in Greenlawn with the Raabs, enjoying a great Thanksgiving meal and introducing Liesl to the family. Sebastian rode his little bike outside, kicked around a soccer ball, played billiards with uncle George, got a bunch of belated birthday gifts (including his favorite, a garbage truck), and capped off a great day by having apple pie and pumpkin cheesecake for dinner.
On Friday, Liesl and I were feeling pretty tired, so Steve and Sebastian went into the city together for a grand adventure. They rode taxis, buses, and subway trains, had hotdogs and hamburgers for dinner, gazed at the Empire State Building's lights, and brought home cupcakes for mama. Sebastian was really excited.
On Saturday, we went to Nathan's home for a playdate - the Krapfs had moved since our last visit, and Seb was excited to hang out with his best friend in his new home. The boys played fairly well together - some haggling over trains and trucks - and it was a good way to keep them both amused for a while.
And finally, the most special treat of all - we visited the NY Botanical Garden's Holiday Train show on Sunday morning! It was a bit crowded, of course, but seeing all of the structures was magical (for the adults), and Seb loved watching the trains go around. We agreed that we'd have to return when there were fewer people.
