Decorating The Tree Is Exhausting   Our tree is pre-lit and one of the rows of lights went out :( It will be fixed soon. The kids still did a great job decorating it. Since we live so close to D.C. we decided to make a day trip and go up. The kids were so excited to see the monuments and we had so much fun.  With James Madison How can this picture not make you smile? Love my goofballs!   With Thomas Jefferson The Jefferson Memorial    With FDR and his beloved dog, Fa La Troy and Eleanor Roosevelt  FDR Martin Luther King Jr.   The Lincoln Memorial       A Shout Out To Our NY Roots The kids with the White House in the background. The Washington Monument  This is our second Thanksgiving celebrating with these wonderful families. We have been friends for years. We had another great holiday! 
We did a D.C. day earlier in the week. The kids had a lot of fun, it was to prepare for our day we are going to spend in D.C. this weekend. The Reflecting Pool George Washington Wigs  Leia and Darth Vader  It was such a warm beautiful day so we took advantage.            Daddy went to a conference in D.C. so we went and spent one night with Kellie and Brian and went to the Hampton Holiday parade. It was great, it blows our little town one out of the water. Here are also some other pictures. Getting into things is her middle name.... We made our living room into a movie theater, complete with movie tickets, seating, and popcorn.  The cutest cry face, even with crazy hair. Im only posting it because she so rarely does cry. Love them! Cute group shots always have hilarious outtakes.  The Adorable Pilgrim hats that they made at pre-school. At The Parade...             I am going to make an honest effort to take more pictures this week. Life has just been busy, but I know in no time they will be off to college and I'll wish I had more pictures to look back at.
