Last Saturday was a very busy day for us in New York. We started off by having breakfast with Aunt Angela, Cary, and Aunt Catherine and at old favorite place of ours - the Candlelight diner. Since we don't have real Greek diners in NC, Vinny and I always make sure to have at least one meal on our trips to NY. Dominic fully enjoyed his chocolate milk and diner pancakes, along with the company of some of his favorite Aunts!

After breakfast and a nap, we got ready to go over to Louie and Lisa's house to celebrate Julianna's 13th birthday. You can see Dominic with Nonno waiting to leave for the party. While in NY, this was one of Dominic's favorite spots - up on the couch watching what was going on outside Nonna's front window. At ZiZi Louie and ZiZi Lisa's house, Dominic had another night of fun playing with all of his cousins, singing songs and dancing around. We also found him imitating their dog Milo going "night night." He was such a good boy for his ZiZi Frankie and ZiZi Denise and even waved good bye to Mommy and Daddy when we left for our next desitation of the evening.

Our final stop for this day and the main reason for our trip to NY was for my niece, Jacquelyn's Sweet 16 party. As you can see, Jacquelyn looked so beautiful that night. It was a great party and all the work that they did to prepare for it really showed. It was an honor to help light one of the candles on her cake. Dominic even got an honorary one even though he wasn't there - so sweet!
