December Friends

Julia's high school friend, Maya, came to St. Paul. She spent time with Benjamin and Julia and also some other friends--of which Benjamin bonded with their baby boy and Julia bonded with their dog. LOL

I had the pleasure of bumping into my favorite Georgetown girl, Elizabeth, at Wawa before she went back to Michigan for the holiday break.

Last Week in DC

We finished the puzzle. We maxed out on trips to Wawa and Wingo's. We ate lots of meat from Wagshal's. Julia got her hair cut--super cute, shoulder length. We also managed to digitize those sentimental, heart-warming videos...so precious.

Julia went back to the University of Leeds--first class!--and turned in her dissertation proposal. She'll present the proposal and then begin the hard work of delivering on it. We miss her already! It was so wonderful to have her home.

Snow Storm and Celebration for Steven's 50

The Sarrges, Mom, Chad, and Miriam came over for dinner last night. Per the birthday boy's request, we had Wingo's wings and sirloin meatballs from Wagshal's. Dessert was Georgetown Cupcakes and cookies.

The snow started Saturday around 4 pm. Twenty-four hours later, DC has ~6 inches. However, the flurries may continue until midnight. So thankful that we were able to celebrate with family last night.

We ventured out for coffee around noon and were thrilled to find Wawa's open! There were quite a few people walking around the neighborhood. I'm hoping more people got out and cleared their sidewalks because the cold temperatures are staying and that means the snow is staying.
