Christmas 2011

We spent Christmas in Annapolis this year.  It was a trip full of kids, noise, laughter and many family gatherings.  Thanks for hosting us, Deterdings:)


A few shots from the gift opening frenzy:





After Christmas, we took Gus into Washington to the transportation part of the Smithsonian.  He had a blast going on a "special date" with Mom & Dad.  We rode the metro in, and that was by far the highlight of the day.












We stopped for a bit at the zoo after the Smithsonian, but Gus was so busy pretending to be a metro train that he missed most of it.

  


For the kids, one highlight of our visit was a tea party for the cousins and their special stuffed animal friends.  My mom made outfits for everyone and oversaw the cookie and candy eating!






Like I said, we saw a lot of cousins on this trip!  Here are a few of my favorites:

 Kip & Avery...


and the 2 boys, Gus & Kaz.  These were so cute, I had to post all of them!
