goodbye NYC! hello chicago!

my last favrite place.....

we had a super busy day. besides showing chester all my favrite places we allso had lunch at alice's teacup and walked past my old hospital and went to moma for a time burton exhibit. the last place we showed chester was the AG store.

mr fox IS fantastic!

bergdorf has mr fox windows for xmas! they were super cool and make those macys windows look like crap!

FAO!

the plaza!

i love to walk past the plaza on my way out of central park. do you know why? do you know what is across the street from the plaza?

central park!

thats a big tree!

the tree in rockafeller center was being put up! that is one tall tree! it would hold about three thousand presets under it i think! 2000 for me and 1000 for chester!

the today show!

where is matt lauer? i am ready for my big interview! i would even settle for meredith. but not al.

radio city!

times square!

its santa!

the windows at macys were decorated for xmas! they were marigolds on 34th street windows! i beleve in marigolds! allso we saw the street getting ready for the thanksgiving parade! the street was painted green where the broadway people dance during the parade!

pooped!

after a day in new york city, chester and i were pooped and we napped on the train to new jersey. but we will be back tomorrow!

hot choclite!

after we leave the strand we always go across the street to max brenner's for hot choclite or milk shakes. yum yum!

the strand!

every time we go to new york we go to the strand. it is kind of boring to me so i like to nap while aunties and unko bens look at a million books and buy 1/2 a million books. the best part comes AFTER we leave the strand!

those are my days!

we took a cruise!

and i don't mean suri. to get from hoboken to new york city we took a ferry across the hudson river! it was fun!

new york city!

we went to new york! i love it! chester had never been there before and he was very excited. i had a long list of things i wanted to show him. all my favrite places. first we had breakfast in hoboken.

more princeton!

this is a really old church in princeton. remeber i said there are lots of old buildings here. this is one of them. the leafs were pretty allso when we were there.

only smart people allowed!

we rode a sheep!

we rode a sheep in princeton. it is really a dead one that stands on the sidewalk. he is not smelly and gross with maggots even though he is a corpse. he is nice and fuzzy.

look how smart we are!

we went to princeton! it was chester's frist visit to the east coast. i think albert einstein was born in princeton. or else he just went there for vacation. or sleeped there. there are lots of old buildings there. allso toy stores and a cupcake place. the oldest bicycle store in the whole country is there allso! see how smart i am from just one day in princeton!

thats my city!

no cheetahs!

we went to the zoo and tried to find cheetahs for chester to talk to. there are no cheetahs at the zoo! but we found this cute little guy who looks like a baby kangeroo.

we love autumn in chicago!

thanks auntie tam!

auntie tam sent me some reese witherspoon perfumes in the mail! now i will smell like reese. or ava. or deacon. or maybe even jake.

NOT my aunties!

we went to see a movie that i thought was about aunties. it was not. it was super scary and aunties covered my eyes and then aunties used me to cover her eyes. and then a man behind us fainted.

candy!

i went to unko ben's office in my costume and got lots of candy. even tho chester did not wear a costume i let him share my candy.

i'm madea!

i dressed up as everyone's favrite gun carryin', swearin', chillren smackin', po-po runnin' and judge back talkin' gramma.......madea!
