Christmas morning!!
Stefan and I decided that since most restaurants would either be booked or closed on Christmas, we would just order in room service. Of course we had our favorite, eggs benedict, and it was phenomenal! The hotel had a beautiful Christmas brunch set up with filet mignon, lobster, chocolate fondue, etc.... but they were completely booked, and at $125/person, we liked our option better.
We thought it might be our morning to go ice skating so we headed down to Rockefeller Center again, stood in line for about 20 minutes and then I got too impatient and we decided against it. Instead, we got some hot chocolate, and sat downstairs near the ice rink and talked to our families to wish them a Merry Christmas.
We then walked over to catch a bus to the Newark airport, where cousins Cynthia and Mike picked us up for Christmas dinner. We had so much fun at Cynthia and Mike's house for Christmas, meeting cousins that we'd never met before on Stefan's side of the family and enjoying the WONDERFUL food!
Uncle Willie was dressed in style like usual, in a bright red suit, red shoes, a santa hat, and of course a black fur coat. Christmas is a time to be with family, and we were so thankful and appreciative that we spent it with such wonderful people. (I think my belly is still sore from laughing so hard and from all of the great food!) Cousins Chante and Cynthia brought us back to the city and we were so sad to see our trip coming to an end.
