Mansion and A Walk

There is a park near our house with some big fields, a playground, and an old mansion

Christmas Part 1

We wrapped Christmas lights around a lamp--and Hugh thought it was awesome

Our tree with some of the presents--we like the small tree because we can always pack it.  It's still the one we used for our first Christmas together. This is actually our 5th Christmas since we've dating, and 4th since we got married--weird thought


Christmas stockings

Hugh in his birthday PJs and Christmas wagon--thanks Grandma for both

Christmas eve dinner--we made the cheese ball ourselves!

And we made a coconut cream pie

Culture and Art






The Phillips Collection
We saw a Degas exhibit and it was great! We also saw Renoir, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Monet, Manet, Cassatt, Matisse, Klee, Bonnard, Rothko, Delacroix, Picasso, O'Keeffe, and lots more. It was a pretty big museum.




Sculpture by the Phillips collection, reminds me of the MOA at BYU

Gandhi in DC, who knew
This is Clark high culture at its greatest
