Making Christmas Ornaments

William and Jessica worked together to make some homemade ornaments.

Jessica got some special clay, and William helped place different pieces.

Then the clay was rolled out flat with a roller.

And finally cut into circles to be baked in the oven.

William was very particular with how the colors where laid out.

Great job William!

Annual trip to the Botanical Garden

 

What has become a DC holiday tradition, we went down to the Botanical Garden on the National Mall to see their holiday display.

 This includes their toy train display, which William watched with fascination.

We also walked around the rest of garden, checking out all the plant models of the DC sights, including the Washington Monument.

Photos from Seattle

Merry Christmas! A few photos from our first couple days in Seattle. You can't even tell we've all been a little under the weather.

Panda bear sighting

It seems that William is becoming more open to hats, especially now that he seems to be figuring out that they keep his head warm.

William's new place

Only 19 months old and already looking to move into his own place. They grow up so fast!

Newseum

Took a trip down to the Newseum today. William got to touch a piece of the Berlin Wall, check out front pages of newspapers from around the world, and see a news helicopter. But his favorite part was running through the leaves in a park nearby the Newseum!

The dentist - take 2

William had his second dentist visit. A lot less crying, and he did let the dental hygienist polish one tooth, so good progress there!
