A Curry of a Life

Last week we partied really hard. We had an enjoyable Thanksgiving feast with two of my lovely sisters. Now that Thanksgiving is over the Christmas season is in full swing here in NYC. Christmas time is one of my favorite times to be in the city. The whole city is decorated and it is lovely.  I did a French Thanksgiving dinner. Well the turkey, stuffing, and apple cake were French. The rest of the food was good old home favorites. Thanks Ellen for peeling carrots and potatos. Bethany did an exquisite job slicing the potatos. It made for quite a delicious potatos au gratin. Yum! Oh the plaza. So lovely and beautiful at Christmas time. I want to go have tea there sometime. Cosette and I can go and pretend we are Eloise at the Plaza .  5th Ave. shops all had there beautiful Christmas displays out.  We had to make a stop at the Rockerfella Plaza. The tree lighting ceremony is coming up. We made a stop at the Balto statue in Central Park.

The best part of Thanksgiving this year was going to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This was our fist time going and it will not be our last. The parade was fantastic! Okay there a are ton of photos in this post. The parade was over two hours long and we documented every bit of it.  The people guiding the balloons uniform matched the balloon they were with.  The original cast of Sesame Street made a stop. I love Elmo's face in the picture.  If you look in the top left corner  Jimmy Fallon  is rocking out.  Lyndon's favorite was Pikachu.  A Tennessee marching band from Father Ryan was there. Us three sisters were beaming with southern pride.  Whoopi Goldberg was the pirate queen.  This group was really funny. They are called the Briefcase Brigade. Lyndon will be joining them in a couple of years. Manheim Steam Roller Karee
