Fun with Wixom cousins! Nate and Susannah brought their boys, Jonas and Isaac over for Chili & cornbread on Friday night. The boys had SO much fun playing together, we had to peel them off of each other! It was all about Star Wars, cars and mostly just TACKLING each other. We almost lost the lamp, and DID lose the star plate, but that's what we get for having WWF in the Living Room! We love these kiddos!
Faith and Isaac are exactly one month apart, and are SO darling together! Isaac is just a big goof, so this picture defines him perfectly! Faith was already (at such a young age) acting like she didn't want to stand too close to him because he was a BOY! Keep thinking that, Faith. Don't get tooooooo close.
On Friday afternoon, we went with the Gary, Jewel and Olivia downtown. We walked through the Botanical Gardens and then over to see the tree in front of the Capitol Building. This is a different tree than the "Holiday" Tree in front of the White House. We all agreed that we liked this one better! The decorations were all homemade by children in Virginia and the tree was able to keep it's shape, even with all the lights. After the tree, we walked over to Union Station to see a Norwegian Train display.
This was cute...while we waited for the Daddies to bring the cars, we walked into a bookstore to keep ourselves busy. My darling 5-year old Faith said "Mom, can we read all the books in the whole store?" Boy, that sounded so good to me!
Dad and Andrew in front of the White House (see it between their heads?) Andrew arranged for the three of us to have a tour of the White House. This year, the focus was on National Parks, so the colors were more golds and naturals, rather than reds like last year. They had fake snow nestled into the trees, with golden birds and butterflies as decorations.
My favorite part was that we visited with a Secret Service Officer at the end of the tour, who gave us some insight to the travel, schedule and lifestyle of the President. He really has a HARD job!
