We ended the year with a bang with inviting relatives over for brunch on Sunday who had traveled from Yorktown, Richmond and Manassas to catch up and enjoy some good food and wine.
The next day we made our traditional visit to the US Botanical Gardens, where the DC landmarks were in full display (this year, a playground and vegetable garden adorned the White House).
The theme of this year's exhibit was "Pollination Station" as we saw oversized flowers, butterflies, and bees all created out of plant materials. The kids were thrilled to especially see the trains like James and Thomas whizzing through the settings and above.
Jack was excited to see the train high above!
The girls pose next a jolly ol' elf.
Speaking of trains, it's always fun to be the conductor on the plant train!
The girls pose in front of the Capitol, under construction of course, bundled up. Winter has finally arrived!
Then, a couple of days later, the girls, Sonali and Sachin enjoyed making homemade pizza for our New Year's celebration with the Sareen family. While Ellie passed out during Chipmunks II, Evie actually managed to stay up to midnight but then promptly fell asleep on Mommy's leg at 12:01. What a great way to end the year!
