Pre-Christmas Celebrations

Julia mastered her finals and came home exhausted, sick, and determined to wrap up the graduate school applications. Upon her arrival, I was on vacation from work...and will continue to be for a full three weeks. Yay! So far she saw Star Wars with Steven, attended the annual Gingerbread Party, watched our traditional White Christmas, saw An American in Paris and 2nd City's Twist Your Dickens (both at the Kennedy Center), girls nail day in Annandale, cut/color with me, study time at GT library, Georgetown Cupcake holiday dozen, Chipotle, Capitol Christmas tree visit with the family, and submitted her grad applications. Great, quality time together. Also pictures from Christmas Eve dinner at the Sarrges, which was delicious--but, Julia was in New Hampshire. Looking forward to her return on the 26th for more FUN!

 

Star Wars and Gingerbread Houses

The child has arrived and we have been busy. Julia went with Steven out to breakfast and then to see Star Wars with his co-workers. Big hit! Of course, she squeezed in a trip to Rocklands with William. Then we had a wonderful dinner and gingerbread decorating party with mom, Westfalls, Maureen & John (and foster puppy Nicolas), Chad, and Sarrges. They all did a wonderful job; Julia's was a piece of art. :)
