miracle on 34th street

two years ago we started what we had intended to be an annual tradition. last year, as you know by now, it was sort of christmas interrupted for us. at any rate, this year we were back on course. last night with the whole family in tow, granny and pop included, we headed up to hamden and munched on the yummy treats at cafe hon. afterwards we walked over to miracle on 34th street and took in the lights. it was a balmy 40 degrees and we had a blast. i am not sure max and keegan knew was to think - but fin was enamored.





















this year, in the true spirit of entrepreneurship christmas, they even had street vendors and fin got some "santa bling-bling". it is hard to tell in this picture, but i am pretty sure this bling is going to induce a seizure in one of my children with its strobe light effects and glowing candy cane. its a sight to be seen (however not much fun in the *early* morning hours when you are awakened to the sound of "mommy, want to try on my new necklace?") i dont even want to know how much pop paid for this treasure!

here are the rest of us enjoying the lights. if you have never been and want to see a kitschy christmas that BGE is bound to love, check it out.
