I hope all of you had an enjoyable holiday with family and friends!
~Here I am with my kids~
One of the things that Santa Claus brought was a gift certificate to Carlo's Bakery in Hoboken, NJ. My kids like watching Buddy on Cake Boss, and have wanted to check out his bakery. We live about an hour from
Hoboken, so we woke the kids up about 6:30 a.m., and jumped into the car. Grace was still asleep, so my husband carried her to the car, and brought clothes for her to put on over her pjs. When we arrived, she said, "Um, I don't think I have any shoes!" Fortunately there was a Walgreens a block away, where we picked up some "winter slippers" as the clerk called them. :)

...the clock across the street from the bakery...
There was already a line when we arrived!
Here is Grace sporting her "winter slippers"
This guy passed out numbers to people standing in line. We were number 22.
It was cold outside, so we were happy when he motioned us in.
The kids said this cake on display has a photo of Buddy's wife on it. (?)
Pretty fancy! We just got donuts and hot chocolate though. I had a Boston Cream donut...tasty.
We ended up doing a lot of certificates for the kids this year and sticking them on the Christmas tree. They really don't need a lot, and I think we need to do some more family outings. This was a fun little trip for our family. If you go, we definitely recommend getting to the bakery early in the morning before the line gets crazy long!
That line is crazy. We went in Sept. and there was no line out the door, just a short line inside. If you ever go back, try the lobster tails - so yummy!
