Mom had a wonderful week of festivities, including being able to attend Ellie's celebration at her school. After being serenaded (below), we enjoyed some delicious lemonade and cookies before playing a game where moms had to pick out the portraits their children had made of them. Mom could pick out Ellie's immediately because of the distinctive way she draws noses.
What a wonderful day!
On Friday of that week, the girls enjoyed our first trip to the National Cathedral Mart to observe the beautiful blooms, each designed by a different embassy.
Mom is wearing her precious thumbprint necklaces the girls made for her last Mother's Day!
We were also so lucky to have Bebe and Popi join us for the day - there are always tons of giggles when they visit. Daddy had made a delicious brunch for us all to enjoy with some particularly fantastic lemon crepes.
Meanwhile, Ellie gives some advice on what she would order at her restaurant while Mommy ponders her choices.
One of the gifts for Bebe was pick-up sticks, a game she remembered from her childhood.
Evie and Ellie soon mastered the techniques Bebe taught them.
Two happy mothers with their very lucky daughter, son and grandchildren.
Three generations!
Then, the family headed over to the Renwick Gallery to see their Wonder exhibit, full of astounding installations and exhibits that transfixed us. Well worth the 30 minute wait in line!
What are we doing lying down on the carpet?
Admiring this amazing art, of course!
Marc was very proud of his artistic shots.
This amazing exhibit was created from embroidery string.
And these were towers of index cards that looked like geological wonders!
Might as well stroll by the White House to wave hello while in the city...
