A White House Christmas

While this is something that Jason and I have had the opportunity to do before, we have never done it without kids!  So it was a little different - actually being able to walk around and look at things and not yell at a little one to be careful or slow down.

Before the Scott's moved - John asked us if we would like tickets to the white house for the Christmas display.  We did this with the whole family a couple of years ago, but with them leaving we knew it would be different.  So Mom and A. Sue actually took the boys about three weeks earlier which left it a time for just Jason and I.

I say that, but we were also fortunate to go with our friends the Hamlins.  Their two little guys also went, so we had a great time.  While President Obama and I are NOT friends, it is still "The White House" and the respect that goes with it is amazing.
