Christmas time

So we were able to throw a last minute trip together to visit Jana and Jason. While we are here, Kari suggested that Jana and I draw names for Christmas. Since this is our family's off year (to not have Christmas together), it means that each sibbling family will have another sibbling family to buy a family gift for to give for Christmas. I don't remember if there was a limit set before. Jana says that there wasn't, so I don't know how everyone wants to handle that part. We did the drawing this morning and this is what we came up with. I hope this is O.K. for everyone.

Yesterday we went to the Museum of Natural History in D.C. It was over 100 degrees outside, so it wasn't fun to walk from the parking to the museum (parking in D.C. sucks!), but the kids enjoyed the museum. Here are a few pictures to show you what we did. Unfortunately, the musuem was so big that we hardly got to see much of it. Fortunately, that means we will have something to look forward to the next time we come to visit.
