Happy New Year

Okay, one more post before 2007 goes. A few more pics of our trip to Washington DC. These were some of our favorite places:

A very cute panda (at the National Zoo)

great architecture (at the National Archives)

a fabulous and very cool cafeteria (at the National Gallery of Art)

and a beautiful waterfall (looking out from the cafeteria)

All in all, we just fell in love with the place!

Oops, almost forgot a picture of the Metro....(yes, we liked the subway! We're from Arkansas, people...these things impress us greatly.)

See you in '08!

Christmas goodies

Most of the baking and shopping are done. One more trip to the grocery store today, and then hopefully a week of peace and joy and family and good times and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Not necessarily in that order.

I made up some goodies for Jimmy's office. Cookies inside and a 'marvelous maraschino pound cake' on top. I need to remember to start earlier looking for packaging for baked goods. I always have visions of a Martha type custom box of cookies, but I end up with a plastic tub, hmm.

But they are good cookies!

I did manage to get a good picture of our tree (above), which I love. I'm loving the colored lights and the white lights mixed together.

I'll be taking a break from the blog to enjoy the holidays, so see you in 2008! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Washington DC

We are back from our trip to Washington DC, which was wonderful! The day we arrived it was snowing and we walked down to the White House and got the most beautiful shots of it in the snow. It truly was a winter wonderland!

We got to see the Tree Lighting, which was pretty cool. Timed that just right.

I'll have more pics a bit later, but now we've got to get ready for Christmas! Yikes....11 days away.
