I believe in Santa




It looks like little Axel Ivan is pondering his Christmas list

but I can tell you that me and Yahtzee must have been very good this year to have been blessed with this little gift from heaven

Christmas time is magical for sure, even the days after as I wonder around my mothers house in my new slippers or look out at the snow covered lawn, I am still carrying the Christmas spirit.

More christmas songs please!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Santa takes NYC

The holiday season has taken on a whole new meaning this year.
Axel's first encounter with Santa Claus is a bit unconventional. 
On Saturday, we saw thousands of Santa's as they embark on the yearly pilgrimage across Manhattan to spread holiday cheer- along with elves, reindeer, Ms. Claus...polar bears! you name it.
If you are not familiar, just have a look here or see Axel in action here.


Last weekend my sister, brother in law and kids visited. To give them a taste of NYC over the holiday, we ventured to mid-town despite the crowds.  We managed to get a glimpse of the tree and watch the ice skaters at Rockefeller Center. It was a lot of effort to be an observer, especially for short legs.



Bryant Park was a little more manageable. 
We got together with friends for some ice skating of our own. It is a little harder than i remembered it.


See ya soon

Being thankful



I just love looking at these little tootsies, 
and I am most thankful for these 10 toes this year.

Life has changed here at Urban Disco. 

Rather than planning for our yearly christmas party, i am planning for childcare and preparing to go back to work.  Still we are enjoying the holiday season none-the-less, starting with our visit to Pittsburgh over thanksgiving where we had a fantastic visit with friends and family (and a right good meal -- makes me want to try my hand at cooking again),
right to decorating the christmas tree.

i hope you're enjoying the ramp up to the holiday too.
