My mom performing at Dance Chelsea. I’m so proud of her! She and I started ice skating together when I was about four, and she skated in competitions up until about four years ago, when she decided to switch to dancing (I stopped competing when I was fourteen). She also takes piano lessons from Kendrick and practices for at least an hour every day, rides a motorcycle, eats like a truck driver, and is generally unstoppable.
I don’t know where she gets her energy - it’s obviously not genetic.
Last night, Kendrick, Dad and I went to Dance Chelsea to watch my mom’s dance performance at their annual Christmas party. The people at Dance Chelsea are fabulous - I’ve taken a few swing and salsa lessons there over the years, and Kendrick and I have taken a couple of classes together. Unbeknownst to him (well, I guess not anymore), I’m planning on signing us up for some more lessons in 2010.
The vintage Jadeite salt & pepper shakers I gave Meghan for her birthday.

If you’re planning on scurrying about the city doing some last-minute shopping this weekend (can you believe Christmas is next week?!), try hitting up some of the gorgeous holiday markets that are dotted all over NYC.
Holiday Market at Union Square: My personal favorite, and the place I run to every year for hand-carved wine bottle holders, delicate jewelry, and tons of options for kids.
Holiday Shops at Bryant Park: More than 100 vendors from around the world…and free ice skating!
Grand Central Holiday Fair: Baby, it’s cold outside…but lucky for you, you can stay toasty-warm at this shopping destination in Vanderbilt Hall.
