| National Botanical Garden! |
Hello everyone!
We’ve been having a very mild Christmas season. Today, December 18th, we had
a high of 60 degrees. It’s
nuts! The warm weather hasn’t kept
the Christmas spirit at bay, though! There are Christmas lights up (even in our
apartment), Christmas trees for sale are lining the streets of Eastern Market,
the National Tree has been lit, trains are chug-a-lugging through the National
Botanical Gardens, and they’re selling hot cocoa and hot cider everywhere you
turn. You can see us
frolicking in the Botanical Gardens in the picture!
We were also lucky enough to attend the National Christmas
tree lighting by the Capitol Building. There was security and everything! It was a gorgeous sight-- take a look!

Joe and I spent a surprisingly stressful weekend finishing
up our Christmas shopping and attending holiday parties. The parties were fun —there was food,
drinks, and friends to go around—but the shopping! Goodness gracious. People everywhere, constant
traffic. Joe and I realized we
like to shop for a solid 1.5 hours and then it just isn’t fun anymore. But,
hey, we survived and I think we’re a stronger couple for it.
In any case, we got a great stack of presents and it was
even more fun wrapping them up. Joe had to teach me a trick or two, traditions
handed down by his late Grandma Ruth. We’ve reached that point in life where
giving is way more fun than receiving.
Hopefully we’ll make a lot of people happy with our gifts!

| Impressive or what?! |
With that, we wish everyone the happiest of holidays! We’re
headed back to Lima to visit Joe’s family for a couple of days. Stay tuned—I’m
sure we’ll have stories to go around!
Safe travels and Merry Christmas!
Love to you all!
