Enjoying Christmas time in downtown DC

We had a wonderful time today visiting the sites in downtown D.C. We got to see the tree in front of the White House that the President lights. We also visiting the National Natural History Museum complete with lots of animals for Lily to see. Then we wrapped it up with a good lunch downtown. Lily had a great time and fell asleep on the way home (after a Christmas cupcake was sampled).

Lily's second visit to see Santa

Lily was excellent visiting Santa this year. It was really her second time seeing this particular Santa. We first met him when the fire alarm went off at the mall. The Santa came right over and talked with Lily and she warmed right up to him. This of course made her extremely excited to go back and see him. She nows loves everything Santa, including the old movie "Santa Claus is coming to town".

Thanksgiving Fun

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend hanging out with Christopher who stayed with us for the entire week. Lily was so happy to have Christopher around. They took naps together every day, they hung out at the beach together, swam together, and generally just had a good time hanging out together. The weather was great (60 degrees and sunny) so we hit the beach a couple days. Lily was sad to see Christopher go.
