Christmas

We were so lucky this Christmas because Gramma and Grandpa were able to come visit for the big day.  It is so much more fun to spend Christmas with family.

Sugar cookie making.

The finished product

I think she likes them

She asked Santa for a "Sachi blanket".  I didn't do a great job of taking photos during the present opening.  As usual, it was chaotic.

A picnic with Pip

The day after Christmas, Gramma and Grandpa left to see his kids and we left to visit Papaw and Mimi.

She was all ready for the trip.  New makeup was applied and she was wearing her unicorn jammies.

Poor Sachi

We took the kids to the National Zoo.  We were able to visit right before the government shutdown.

This is my favorite photo progression.  A little girl jumped on the animal that Emma wanted.  She was so upset.

She tried to remain sad.

but who can be sad on a merry go round?

Josh took the boys to a Wizards basketball game

Emma and I kept Mimi company

Uncle Will and Aunt Leia bought the kids a trip to the trampoline park.

I swear she isn't naked 

When we got back, Emma started Taekwondo when got back from Virginia

Notice Emma rolling on the floor while everyone else participated.

Myles built an amazing gingerbread house at school for math.  They were learning about area and perimeter.  

Grady is nuts. He squeezed into Emma's unicorn onesie.

I really attempted to keep them off devices.

We went to Melissa and Eric's annual Christmas tree burning party

Josh got in a few naps.

Don't mess with this lady

While Emma was at Ninja Night and Grady was spending the night out, Josh and I took Myles to a retro arcade.
