Day 131

Today the house seems empty.

Day 130

We had to say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa this morning. We loved having them and were sad to see them go.

But we still have Aunt Amy for one more day!

Amy and I were able to spend the day together and it was so relaxing. We went to Mt. Vernon and just spent the day talking and being together. I loved it.

Amy brought her beads and so the girls and I have been making bracelets!

Day 129

We started the day with Arlington Cemetary. It was cold anda little rainy but well worth the trip. After that we went to the Capitol building for a quick tour. The girls stayed downtown and enjoyed lunch on capitol hill. After a little difficulty with parking, we were able to spend some time at the American History Museum and then back home to prepare for the BSU game!

Day 128

Grace getting cooking lessons from Grandpa.

I loved having my parents in the kitchen with me on Thanksgiving.

Lots of game playing.


Lots of family around the table.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Day 127

Amy has arrived! We were so excited to have another guest join our party.

We spent the first half of the day grocery shopping and making pies. Then we headed downtown for a quick tour of the memorials and the Washington Monument. We had tickets to go to the top of the monument and the view was spectacular.

The Washington DC temple.

The White House.

We were all very cold by the end. We headed back home for warm soup and pie!

Grandma and Grace stayed home and had lessons in pie making.

Day 126

Today I spent the day shopping with my Mom. It was so fun. We did some Christmas shopping and had lunch and I enjoyed every minute.

Then we had dinner with Jeff and his family. After everyone was in bed, my mom and I had some more time together while we waited for Amy's plane to arrive at midnight!

Day 125

Today we went to the National Building Museum. They have a Lego display that we have been wanting to see. The kids were able to build their own lego buildings and then add them to the city. They had a great time.



After we were done building with legos, we went to Georgetown Cupcake. Yummy!
