O'Connell Family Christmas Spectacular

With incredible generosity, Mom Mom and Pop Pop treated their entire side of the family to a Christmas Spectacular in NYC - to see the Rockettes Christmas show on December 18th. Almost 50 of our closest O'Connell Family members got together for a charter bus ride from the Abramowitz House to Rockafeller Center in NYC. The day was a whirlwind of excitement and fun. We enjoyed some down time around the city, in the bitter cold, and then met for the 2 pm show. Ava didn't quite make it that long, as she fell asleep in her comfy stroller. (P.S. We absolutely LOVE our Bumbleride for anyone stroller searching out there!) Ava met Pooh Bear on the streets of NYC and then we bussed it back to NJ for a family style dinner at Mastori's. To sum it up, the trip was absolutely perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with family that we just don't see often enough. Enjoy some pictures below!
