Rockefeller Tree and Penny Harvest

We took a family trip into the city last night to see the Rockefeller tree and visit the Penny Harvest display. The tree looked gorgeous....and was covered with red, blue, and green lights. the pictures don't do it justice. Then we saw the Penny Harvest display. It was amazing. The Penny Harvest is an oganization that was started a few years ago. The children in NYC schools collect and donate penny's. This year, the pennies were displayed near the tree. There were 100 Million pennies in this display, and it took up 1 city block! It was amazing! Gabby collected pennies from home, Aunt Lena, Uncle Tony, Isabella, Grammy, Grampy, Aunt Mandy, and Uncle Steve. She loved the display and wanted to jump into it. We also stopped at the Disney Store on 5th Ave, and there is a picture of the babies singing Christmas carols on the way home...
