last of the advent

fascinated by all the trains














little fairy house

















Inside Santas workshop. The kids weren't exactly excited to see him, but the workshop was fun. They were more excited about all the trains going around the big national tree and trying to throw pennies onto one of the frieght trains. I liked the big bonfire the best. It was cold and windy but very sunny.





Dec. 24 We tagged along with the Earnests for a trip in to D.C. We went and visited Santas workshop at the White house and The Botanical Gardens with the awesome train display. I guess everyone else in the D.C. area thought it was a good idea too because it was crowded.

Dec. 23 We went to Toys R Us with all the rest of Northern Virginia. It was crazy. We went and shopped for presents for our friends. The kids got through a whole show while we waited in line. Thank goodness for my iphone and a show to watch.



Dec. 22. It was the last day of school for Siena. They had pj day. It was such a nice day, it didn't seem like it was Christmas time. We walked to school and stayed and played on the playground afterwards.



Dec. 21 We made the last of our treats. We made fudge and sugar cookies. On the last day of school for Siena everyone was to bring in a few treats to share.
Dec. 20 Nana sent us some Christmas sun catchers that we painted. We didn't do many Christmas crafts this year because Siena was in school all day and she was the one that really loved doing them. It is fun to have our house all decorated with the kids Christmas crafts.


Dec. 19 We drove around town looking at Christmas lights. It was fun, Claire slept the whole time in the car so I got out with Siena and Ben and we walked around the displays. The kids brought along 3 little treats to eat and they were gone before we got to the first house. It is one of my favorite things to do at Christmas. People go crazy with their displays.
