A Very Merry X-mas @ the Arthurs

Sadly this is just about a month late, but I wanted to share some of the pictures from our Christmas. Every year we commit to keeping things low key and free of stress, but yet again, this was a hectic holiday season. I guess it comes with the territory, and getting used to two kids made everything extra crazy.

My biggest regret this year is that we didn't make it to Rockefeller Center and the tree—the Lucia snowstorm managed to foil that attempt and we decided to not make the trek from the upper west side. But the tree will be there next year again!

It was a magical and special Christmas and we started some new traditions. Christmas Bath (made extra-special with bath fizzies from Lush); midnight sprinkling of oatmeal and glitter on the lawn so Rudolph and Santa would know where to land; baking of christmas cinnamon buns for Santa (which landed in dad's belly while last minute gift wrapping); decorating of a cool new silver christmas tree; and of course an amazing brunch with Santa at Prime Harbor Club (we have to do this again).

Can't wait to do it all again next year!
