Christmas Market {Union Square NYC}

I love Christmas markets. They are all over NYC, and while most of the same vendors are at each of the shows throughout the city, I can't help be drawn to each like a bug to a light. Come to think of it, it is the lights that get me there.

Union Square is my favorite because the Christmas Market is parked next to the amazing farmer's market. You could definitely buy everything you need for a merry little Christmas right here- everything from unique gifts and decorations to fresh wreaths, Christmas trees, and all the fixings for a festive holiday feast. We seem to pick up a few wood ornaments and lots of yummy goodies whenever we happen upon one of these lovely markets.

Decorating our Tree {Capture the Magic}

Our annual decorating party has always been one of my favorite family traditions. We were all sick the week after Thanksgiving, so our party was a bit more low-key than it normally is, but we enjoyed mini pumpkin pies, candy canes, Trader Joe's chocolate, and sparkling cider. I love making to Ella's scale because she always feels so special. It has been a fun challenge this year to make our festivities fit for adults and children too.









my cousin Taylor was in town when we picked out our tree- they gave us free Charlie Brown trees for each child, and lucky for us delivery was included! So we didn't have to schlep it back to our apartment on our own.
