We had a wonderful time spending Christmas on Long Island. The festivities started with a Sicilian Christmas Eve filled with yummy seafood and family. Christmas morning was filled with present overload, which the girls thoroughly enjoyed and more tasty food. After Christmas we visit the NY Hall of Science and had a fabulous sushi dinner.
