We continued our tradition of making graham cracker houses every Christmas Eve Eve. The Halgrens and Lees joined us for the fun and I think we finally learned from all of our mistakes so the decorating was enjoyable (we didn’t preform the houses in advance last year and it was impossible to get them to stay up). Lucy missed Henry who was home sick with Scarlett Fever (and his dad) but everybody who came had a grand time decorating and playing.
James should have received an award for “best construction.” His house included a sleigh and Rudolph made out of candy!
On Christmas Eve morning, we ventured into the city to take a look of the National Christmas tree. The weather was beautiful and it was strange to think it was Christmas eve with the blue skies and green grass. The tree was a little disappointing and reminded me of something out of “Whoville.” The real fun was the large train set they had at the base of the tree. Our boys could have stayed all day to watch the trains. They also have 50 plus trees surrounding the National Tree that are decorated for each state. We enjoyed finding all the state trees we had connections to.
