Today we stopped by Arlington Cemetery to show the kids the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and caught the changing of the guard just before Arlington closed for the evening. The kids really thought it was interesting and cool.
When we left Arlington, we stopped by the Iwo Jima Memorial... it is wonderful at night...
The winning goal at tonight's Cap's game... it was Pat's first time to a NHL game... we had a blast!!
We're on our way.... out to Washington DC for my little brother's wedding on New Years Eve!!
I love winter mornings when we have had fog overnight... it leaves all of the trees, fence posts... the whole world frosted...
Spent today Christmas Shopping with Patrick... had a great day... despite the crowds :)
I got "Happy Mail" yesterday from Stacy Julian!!! I was so excited, she even sent me a little hand written note and I also got an "A" monogram stamp!! There was "Love, Elsie" mini album, ribbon and charms, as well as 2 other mini albums, some extremely cute quote post cards, a Big Ideas pencil and BPS mouse pad... I was just squeeling with delight when I opened the package after work!! - All of this was a "thank you" from Stacy for posting photos of my "MyBook" that was created during a class I took over there at Big Picture Scrapbooking, if you haven't checked them out yet, you should!
Don't you just LOVE fresh baked Chocolate Chip Cookies? When they are warm and all gooey right out of the oven?
I just had to pull over and take a photo of these trees as I left Mary Jo's house this afternoon... they just screamed CHRISTMAS CARD to me for some reason... don't you just love the snow in December?
Pat and I took Cameron & Tara + Jenna to the movies this afternoon. Saw Stephen King's THE MIST... I highly recommend it if you love suspence or horror movies. We took the kids out for Pizza Hut pizza afterwards... a grand time was had by all!
Not the best photo I've ever taken, but between the crowds and this very active young bellringer, the best I could get yesterday with my cell phone... I could not believe how impressed I was with this young man... only about 6 years old and giving back to the community with his Mom and younger sibling... Tara and I could not resist putting a little something into his kettle...
The girls from my Monday night class working hard on their Christmas Flip Books that I posted over at Red River Valley Croppers.
The aftermath of Saturday's Snowstorm... we got 8+ inches that turned Wahpeton into a Winter Wonderland. I took this photo with my cell phone... don't you just LOVE the camera feature?
December 1st: My husband and I at the annual Army Nat'l Guard Dining Out/Christmas Party. My Dad took this photo for me...
