Kids were invited to the best Xmas Party ever

The kids got to see Santa and Mrs. Claus again , the magic performing elf, have balloon animals made by a world champion balloon artist and got to visit the candy bar. We really are fortunate that they are always so kind to include us in their festivities! The kids love hanging out with Matt and Ingrid. Heather was chosen by Santa to perform Jingle Bells this year - video below sorry the quality is bad. I have to update the settings on my phone.

Kids Came to Work to Help the Senate Close Up for the Year

As their reward for thier assistance, we stopped at the Vietnam Wall (Heather keeps saying the Vietnameseeeeee wall memorial) and the Lincoln Monument.

Hit Bull Run to See the Festival of Lights.

This was pretty cool - I was the driver so I couldn't get a lot of photos - you turn off your headlights and drive in a line through the dark. A lot of their light displays aren't very Christmasy but we enjoyed it immensely. After you drive through the park, you end up on top of a hill where there was a carnival, marshmellow roasting and a wagon ride. Will we did partake in marshmellows and wagon, I nixed the carnival - too cold!

Christmas Has Started at Chaos!

The tree is trimmed, the yard is decorated - bring it on Santa!

Trevor Turned 5!

Uncle Matt got Trevor an Air Swimmer - it was mobbed by the kids.

Who wants a game of starfish ring toss?!

Magnet fishing in a ball pit - it was a big hit!

Nana rented a popcorn machine - Trevor was so busy he never got any!

Goodie bags.

Homemade chocolate fish lollypops.

We had lovely weather for a November and were able to successfully have his party outside. We fished in a ball pit, had a popcorn machine and a salmon cake. It was a huge success!
