Botanical Garden Trains

This is my favorite museum during the holidays and I have to admit I will really miss it next year. I was excited to see that this year they'd moved the mechanical trains inside the museum instead of outside where in the past we've had to stand outside in the rain/snow/cold to watch them. They also seemed to break down less this year... hmmm.

Seriously, can you beat this? 85 degrees inside, beautiful plants and Christmas decorations!

This picture epitomizes December for Isaac. Walking and pointing, and if you added sound to that picture you'd here a hissing/spitting/throat sound which in Isaac-speak means "I want that".

We love our playgroup. As we were driving in the car yesterday, Ethan announced that tomorrow he is going to be a girl. When asked why, he answered because he loves girls. He loves Hannah, he loves Elise, he loves Summer. He's surrounded by girls, what can we say?

Seriously amazing- and free! We love the Smithsonian!
