Getting ready for NYE in Times Square, 5th Ave and seeing Lincoln!

Emerging from the subway into Times Square, you just never know what you will see. Its like Christmas, every time!

 Why is there a band here? WHO KNOWS!


Why is there a creepy dude from Predator? WHO KNOWS!

 

Random Chinese people declaring their Democratic party! WHO KNOWS!


Then comes actually looking at the preparations that have started for NYE!! So exciting. First thing I spotted was the addition of speakers, big speakers, EVERYWHERE! 


Above that red rectangle is where the ball will drop in about 25 hours!



You will NEVER see this area empty, except for right now as they are preparing for NYE!


 SNOW! As the rest of the US has been getting nailed with snow, we have gotten nothing but rain. FINALLY we get some decent snow :).


Moving on to 5th Ave/ Rockefeller Plaza:

 Behind all the people, was THE Tree! Supposedly this year it was from Michigan! :) So Proud. 


How BEAUTIFUL is she?! OOOOOh Christmas Treeee, OOOOOH CHRISTMAS TREE!


We wandered around after and came to the Lego shop. Can you believe this display is made completely of Lego's?!




I love all the random Holiday decor around the city.


Finally, the REAL Reason we came to Times Square! My hubby was surprised by the other portion of his Christmas present. Going to see Lincoln! Our theater was on the 3rd floor and the seats were AMAZING. Almost as good as lounging on your own couch at home. I will DEFINITELY be going back. Lincoln was also, BY FAR the best movie I think Spielberg has ever made.  But that's just my humble opinion.


The theater was close to empty! How cool! :) Yay for midnight showing!


Back home we go, but wait! Not without a little NYC entertainment!


What do we see that could possibly be a little out of place.... hmmmm. The guy laying down Zzzzzzzzin' it up? Gosh NYC is amazing :) 



Overall, it was an amazing night! In total, with Dinner at Q'doba and movie tickets we paid $50.00 for tons of fun. Which is a steal for two people in NYC.
