Christmas in New York

We spent Christmas in New York with Jim's family this year. We have never been there for Christmas and thought it would be fun to do while Maddox is still young enough to travel for Christmas. We had a wonderful time. It was great to see everyone and a very relaxing break after all the hustle and bustle of getting ready for the holidays.

Tug of war with Lucy... the 150lb Saint Bernard. Her and Maddox have a love/hate relationship. He likes her but she doesn't realize how big she is so it can get a little crazy with the 2 of them.
