Looking down 7th at 4pm.

Zooming in to show the throngs.

The Saks windows.

The same tree that was in Elf.

Max's favorite and most crushing part - the zamboni and the fact that we did not skate.

The subway, which was incredibly exciting for both.

 But first, Jersey pizza.

And some park time.

And finally, the arrival of Tio Greg from Korea.

Which meant opening present time.

Yay!

And even more Tio Greg time, making sure favorite uncle status remained his, through his guaranteed throw-the-kids-around-till-they're-exhausted technique.

 And were very excited to see Dozee, seen here with his ugly face.  Maddie actually ran from the escalators into his arms.

Then it was straight into Max and Aiden's favorite game - Fight.

While the adults chatted.

Followed by story time with Uncle Ant.

 Afterwards there was blown foam snow, which Gwen determined was actually spit, which caused this reaction.

And then a little welding.
