Happy New Year everyone and I am so sorry that I have been away for a long while ..... it was like I needed time with my family and to regroup and refresh over the Christmas break after such a busy year ... we went to New York in early December for one week as Andrew had a conference to attend (yes he did attend everyday!) but he wanted the whole family to go as we had not seen each other in such a long time ... so "Party of Five" set off to New York with much excitement! We all went and it was so special! This is Georgiana in front of the Rockefeller tree...
New York is so incredibly beautiful at this time of year and we were lucky enough to see all of the holiday spirit and grandeur! Times Square was incredible and we went to see "Annie" on Broadway which was brilliant .... Australia's own Anthony Warlow was debuting as Mr Warbucks. We were so proud!
My beautiful children ... a little cold but having fun! Best of all were the hotdogs on the streets! The boys lived on them!
This display of giant Christmas decorations just overwhelmed me .... it looked amazing with the water spilling over ....
Georgie and I in front of the Christmas tree at our first hotel in the Marriott Times Square .... the revolving restaurant was so fun ....
Whilst staying at the Marriott we met, purely by chance, the lovely Laura who is the creator of "My Family" series that we see on the back of everyone's car .... she was so gorgeous and wanted to draw Georgiana as she thought she was cute and of course, heard our Aussie accents! She was on a trip to New York with her friends and was such a delightful person.
A trip to New York is not complete without a visit to the iconic "Plaza Hotel" and to meet Eloise! We were lucky to have four nights there and it was exquisite! Everything was so perfect that I had to keep pinching myself to realize that we were there and soaking up the atmosphere and the lovely hospitality!
The interiors were stunning!!!!!!! Parquet flooring, panelled walls and oversized bedhead ....
Quick sneak peek at the Chanel window at Bloomingdale's .... drooling!!!!!
Another sneek peek at a Bloomies window .... I couldn't believe it!
This is what was awaiting us in our hotel room at The Plaza! Alex and Georgie ate them all.....
This is the powder room .... so beautiful and the calaclutta marble mosaics add such elegant detail .... more to come .....
I hope your Christmas and New Year were special too and I wish everyone a very special 2013! The page is not written until we write it!!!!!
love M.A. the 2nd
