The Trumps run loose in DC!

My sister and her family came to visit and we had an absolute blast with them! We miss them so much and look forward to living back in the same city with them soon. Here are some highlights from their visit with us:

Riding the Metro with the kids was an adventure because it was their first time. As you can imagine, they were so excited! Jake LOVED it and could not take his eyes off of the windows while we sped through the stations and tunnels. He kept on saying, "Wow, we're going really fast!"
The kids love going to the zoo, so of course we packed our lunches and headed to the National Zoo and loved every minute of it!
We love this family so much!
The giant pandas were incredible. I usually don't think bears are cute, but this mommy, daddy, and baby panda were so adorable. I am so amazed at God's creation.
We also saw a Mommy Gorilla holding her newborn baby girl (born January 10th of this year). It was really cool to see. Sorry, no picture!

Tiger Crow orchids at the National Museum of Natural History - yet again - I am in awe of God's creativity!

Racing to the White House
Walt and Chris made homemade potato chips! Mmm..mmm..good!
Love you, Diemmie!
Of course, we ventured to Eden Center in Arlington, VA to enjoy Vietnamese food together. The center is filled with many Vietnamese restaurants, jewelry stores, hair and nail salons, bakeries, and music stores. My sister and I are blessed to have husbands that LOVE our culture's cuisine. The food was fabulous!
Thank you for coming to visit us! We love you guys and miss you so much already!

Snow, snow, snow!

On Saturday, Walt's parents came up for a visit and were delightfully greeted by 6-7 inches of snow over the course of their stay.

The backyard of our home is surrounded by woods and a walking path, so we trekked out for a snow walk. Of course this included making snow angels and snowball fights.

Walt's dad and entire family are HUGE Wake Forest fans. Every game viewed with them is always intense. For Christmas, we had the idea to get him tickets to the WF and MD game. So, we made the trek to College Park and the Deacons won! It was such a good game.
Coming up: My sister and brother-in-law along with my niece and nephews are coming to visit next weekend! I am SO excited about their visit! We have missed them so much!
