It will be a total of 1776 feet when it is completed.
Woody was hanging around so I got their photo with him. We took it for Kyle who spent the night with our good friends the Eldredges! He had a blast! Thanks so much!
There is so much to see that we didn't get to see - we walked past Central Park, but didn't have time to go in as it was getting dark, at around 4:00 pm.
We walked all over the city and saw Carnegie Hall, The Russian Tea Room, we saw Times Square (the traffic was crazy and so were the crowds of people!), we saw the ball up on the building waiting for New Year's Eve...we walked across the red carpet where Tom Cruise's premier was for his new movie. We saw Radio City Music Hall, Saks Fifth Avenue.
If I was going to go at Christmastime again, I would go earlier in the month. We had a wonderful time. Would I want to live in the City? No. I would like to visit again though. Now that we've been I am sure we'll be going back a time or two.
All photos were taken by Lindsay and Rachel. Thanks girls for sharing with me!

Wow! You sure packed a lot into one day. Looks like fun and the girls got some great photos.
You fit a lot into one day! No wonder Emma's legs were sore! =) (I saw her comment on FB)
Great pictures!
A great treat for me this morning, to see NY city at Christmas with you. I am told it is a must see at Christmas! It looks as though it was a great family day for you and your family too, so special, thanks for sharing.
Wishing you and your family a most blessed Christmas.

Your girls got some fabulous pictures of what looks to have been a spectacular day! (Did you get any shots of the American Girl store?)
And I (a driving wimp) must add that I am a bit awed at you driving to NYC!
So beautiful! Like everyone else has commented - you certainly packed a lot into one day! Your pictures make me want to visit NYC at Christmas time! Thanks so much for posting all these! I think it's wonderful you and your family were able to do this! What great memories!
I think next year (if our daughter and her family are still living there), we must plan to visit Chicago at Christmastime. It's been years since I've done that!
Your post of the other Big City is the nudge I need. What a lot of sights you saw! The pictures the girls took turned out great. The shoe shot is quite creative :)
Merry Christmas, Mrs. Rabe (and family)!
You need to go and spend a few days! What wonderful photos. I really enjoyed seeing NYC through your eyes and Lindsay's. I kept booting myself off trying to get a closer look. I'm still not used to this new "new" system.
Those are wonderful pictures! Looks like a fun day was had by all. :o)
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
