Grandma and Grandpa drove to DC to celebrate Christmas with us, and we had a blast doing all sorts of holiday-related activities with them.
I made Christmas cookies and you helped decorate them.
We went to National Harbor and looked at the pretty decorations at the Gaylord.
We literally chased you around the gargantuan Gaylord hotel, which resulted in a lengthy afternoon nap for you.
We admired the poinsettias and other plants at the U.S. Botanic Garden.
Then, it was off to see the trees. The Christmas tree in front of the U.S. Capitol is our favorite.
At the National Christmas Tree site, we found your home state tree: District of Columbia.
The National Christmas tree is a little chintzy, but we braved the scarce parking and massive crowds to see it anyway.
We returned to the U.S. Botanic Garden to see their famous train exhibit. It was worth the long, cold wait in line. You loved it! (We did, too! This outing seemed to be everyone's favorite and we plan to make it an annual tradition from now on.)
Grandma and Grandpa played with you and read you lots of books. They even allowed Daddy and me an escape so we could see Les Miserables when it opened on Christmas Day.
You may have met your energy match having Grammy and Grandpa around for several days. They can go and go and go, just like you can. I'm not sure who won, but I know you all had a great time trying to wear the other one out!
Love you!
Mommy
