FAO Tradition

Last year on the day before Thanksgiving Ben and I took Margaret down to NYC for the day. The highlight of our day was the trip to FAO Schwartz toy store. We had so much fun that we decided that day to make it a yearly tradition, which sounded like so much fun at the time.Fast forward one year.....Of course when we decided on this tradition we had no idea that the very next Thanksgiving we would be trying to bring two little ones down to the big toy store! We thought about bailing on it, but what fun would that be. So we packed up the girls and headed into the city.

We ditched the stroller for the backpack, which Margaret liked because she could get a much better view of EVERYTHING!

We of course had to head to the Harry Potter section as soon as we got there.....
Ben was very annoyed that once again there were NO Griffindor ties, only Ravenclaw!

But he cheered up a bit when he got to be Mad Eye Moody for a little bit....

Margaret liked these lions so much that she wanted to buy all of them!

Margaret really loved seeing all the babies in the nursery! They all looked so real!

The huge big puppies and puppets were a big hit!

And of course Dadda loved the Lego Batman

Even though Charlotte slept in the sling through pretty much the whole trip, we made sure to get proof that she was actually there.....
