Madd Max Prep For The Snowstorm

By watching Tio Greg play computer games with his friend, Ray.

And by sitting down by the fire.

And by driving to Hoboken to meet Tante's #3, due June 15.

Madd Max Head To The NY Botanical Garden

But first - a little playing with Mimi's handmade stuffed ornaments - using the exact ones Jess would play with as a kid.

Dozee attempts a freezing game of chicken.

The train show in the gardens.

The made-from-organic-materials scale model of St. Patrick's.

The model of the Great Gray Bridge.

The Guggenheim.

Madd Max Have A Happy New Years Eve

At Uncle Ant and Aunt Tara's house, while they were down at Disneyworld.

The kids made it till 8:30.

Madd Max Have An NYC New Year's Eve

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.

Madd Max Have An Auntie Kerry Day

Her arrival.

Her introduction of her new nephew, Logan.

And her new place of employment where she is Center Medical Director, meaning she runs this place.

Madd Max Have A Last Opening

 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.

Madd Max Hit Jersey

 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.
