Christmas Countdown

Hi there everybody!  Just thought I would catch up on blogging.  We invited Dad's side of the family to our house in Virginia for Thanksgiving.

It was a lot of fun!


We had a terrific Thanksgiving dinner together.


The next day, my cousins and I went to the Smithsonian.


I saw the Hope Diamond.


We rode the DC Metro together.


You can't go to DC without seeing the Lincoln Memorial.


Dad had to drive a couple laps around town so we could find the right spot to jump out and walk to the memorial.  It was worth it though.


This week, Santa came through the neighborhood on a fire truck!  The sirens and emergency lights were going.  Santa was throwing candy to all of the kids in the neighborhood.


Since it's Christmas, we started decorating the house for the holidays.  We figured we would start with Elizabeth.  You can tell by the look on her face this was not her favorite part of decorating.


Every year I put the angel on top of the tree.  Dad says that i am growing fast and almost can reach the top of the tree on my own.  I think I have a little way to go still.


Here is our tree!


In other news, I am learning multiplication in school and I participated in my first spelling bee.  The days seem to be flying by for 2014.  Before we all know it the new year will be here. 

Hope everyone had a good week.  See you next week!
