We had a wonderful Christmas with
Bob's family - we went to Mike and Katherines first where we enjoyed a lovely night at their home and talked to Bob and Liz until late. The next morning we woke up and opened presents with the Mike, Katherine, the girls, Bob and Liz. It was a wonderful time and we really enjoyed spending time with Katherine and Mike and remembered just how much we miss them! We went to Mom and Andy's that afternoon and she took us to D.C. to see the state trees and the national tree. It took my breath away - I have never scene a more beautiful tree. Phillip really enjoyed the trains traveling around the bottom of the tree - it was spectacular. We had hot chocolate and was able to walk past the white house - we were close enough to see the tree inside one of the windows. We were able to open presents and to my surprise Bob got me tickets to see the cowboy - redskin game. The game was on my birthday - I was so surprised - Mom did a lot of work to get the tickets for Bob and we were both very appreciative of her hard work and diligence in getting them. We went to the game and had a wonderful time - the weather was cold and raining but I loved the game and cannot wait to go to another one - It was the best birthday present I have ever had!
Phillip tries to hard to fit in with his older siblings - imagine our surprise when he decided he wanted to ride a scooter - we were very hesitant at first - a two year old on a scooter?? We just knew he would fall and be black and blue all over - to our surprise he is very good at balancing himself on it and rides around our court with all the other older children - even though the handle bars are past his nose. He is beaming ear to ear while he rides and thinks he is "fitting in". He has yet to fall off! I am sure it is coming - he is becoming a little dare devil. We will put more photos when we get back from Disney in March. We love and miss you all!!!
