Christmas
For Christmas this year we went to our usual spot on Christmas Eve - The Mansion on O Street. Lil had fun exploring all the rooms and seeing so many cool things.
Lil had a better understanding of the magic of Christmas this year and loved seeing all the Christmas lights and stories about Santa and rudolf. She left cookies and milk for Santa and couldn't believe it when she saw he had left her a thank you note. We went a little overboard with the presents and Lil actually got bored unwrapping all her gifts so we ended up having to take a food break before all the presents were unwrapped.
New Year's Eve
Ian and I were lucky and had the whole week off between Christmas and New Year's so we rented a condo with a few of our friends in the Shenandoah Mountains in Virginia at Massanutten Resort. We had a wonderful time and Ian even got to do a little skiing. But I think Lil had the best time out of everyone. She and her buddy, Phoenix, (who was born one day after her) were like two peas in a pod and had so much fun playing together. They were so cute!
