last sunday we got to enjoy our early christmas present from matt's folks - tickets to the White Christmas musical at the 5th avenue theater and a schmancy dinner out afterward! (thank you!) steph and levi received the same gift and we all got to partake in the loveliness together.
i dub the excursion, "christmas coronation." it was the first weekend the city was all lit up for the season; white and colored lights, handsome trees, and shiny orbs abounded on every street.
we went to my (and steph's) favorite store, which was nicely outfitted for christmastime. (i struggle with coveting things when i go there, but i never act on it. we did buy this pretty spoon rest, however, because recently one of our gigantic candles tumbled off the back of the oven and smashed our old spoon rest straight away. this one will be a nice replacement).
beautiful whimsy.
for spoons to rest!
matt and i had our first dinner experience at benihana. it was neato. ave became our fast friend as he described that he likes to "move it, move it." and when he tossed freshly grilled vegetables onto our plates he said, "domo origato." i said, "mr. roboto," and then he sang the song under his breath as he diced and chopped.
ave, the japanese chef from mexico city.
L to R: seafood noodles, yakisoba, filet mignon, yakisoba.one day i will master the chopstick.
we walked around, sometimes we linked arms, and we looked at pretty things. we heard pretty music by a talented cellist who was playing for change; he was grinning.
it's fun going out on the town with this guy:
and these guys:
may all your christmases be white.
(please, please, please let ours be white!)

I love it sister, beautifully written about a beautiful day!
What a wonderful treat! I've never been to an Anthropologie store but we're getting one soon in our local mall, I've read and heard so much about it I'm so excited to finally SEE it :0) Your spoon guy is very pretty too! But I liked the group shot best, of course, because family is the greatest gift of all! Glad a good time was had by all!
Maaaaaaaybe you can post some pictures of your new old place haha :0) I'd love to see the new green walls!
