Our annual tradition took a detour this year when we boycotted overpriced Rockette tickets and decided to take the kids to the Lion King instead.  We started at the tree and then went to Toys R Us.  We had lunch at Sardi's and went to see the show.  Luca was funny - complaining all morning about how the Lion King was for babies - but boy was he surprised.  He was mesmerized for at least 90 minutes straight.  It was a fantastic show and the costumes were amazing.
