Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week-end. Dear hubby, the kids and I came down to New York for the week-end to visit our in-laws and show the little ones all the City decorations. Seeing all the Christmas lights, ornaments, and feeling the contagious excitement of the City turned us all back into giggly, wonder-filled eyed children. New York is really magic, and as we’re getting ready to say good-bye, here’s a quick snap at the news that made this week:

Here in New York, during our visit, we witnessed thousands marching to protest police violence, as reported by the New York Times. It’s time for change, good, positive change, people;
