Happy New Years Eve

This was definitely not the New Years Eve that we planned! Brendan and Emmy both tested positive for COVID today - the rest of us are all negative - but we are staying in and celebrating at home. Here's hoping for a happy and healthy New Year!

 

Covid Tests

 Covid is rampant and there are no tests available! The library has 100 tests to give out - I stood in line for an hour and they gave out all of the tests 5 minutes after they opened the doors.  sigh

Kit likes brisket too!

 

Merry Christmas 2021!!

What an amazing Christmas! So much fun and we had a nice diner with Gramma and Daddy Jim and Tony! 

 

Christmas Eve 2021

Happy Christmas Eve!! It's been quite a year so far and we are looking forward to 2022! The kids celebrated Christmas Eve with the traditional Lego building activities!

 

Christmas at Mt Vernon

It's always fun to visit Mt Vernon at Christmas! It's one of my favorite times to visit and the house and the grounds always look amazing! 

 

The Christmas Village at Nats Stadium

We had so much fun on a very cold evening at the Christmas Village at Nats Stadium! Lots of lights and a fun maze to navigate!!

 

The Capital Tree

 

NVAR 100th anniversary formal

I graduated from the NVAR Leadership institute and we all were able to attend the 100th anniversary formal! What a nice way to start celebrating the holidays!

 

Making Pizzas

Getting some good use out of our beautiful new kitchen!!!

 

Power Outage!

Doing homework without power!

 

Winter League at the St James

I like to call this our winter home - because we live here now. So much lacrosse happens in the winter here - and we are so lucky to have a beautiful indoor facility not too far away!

Decorating the Tree

Some people like helping to decorate the tree - and some don't! We are getting so close to the holidays and it's so exciting!!!
