Over 650,000 lights are put up around the Washington DC Temple and Visitors Center every December. It is a gorgeous and magical sight.
Miss L especially loved them. We heard a lot of "look" and "so pretty". Totally worth braving the cold for. We also wanted to go to the free concert at the Visitors Center that night -- bluegrass! The kids were assigned to watch the guitar players for cords that they recognized. It was a pain waiting in line for it, but the music was great. I think it helps the kids to see where their guitar playing might lead.
Drumroll! And here it is -- the big present that we have been waiting for. -- A Tractor!
This makes me feel like a real farmer. We got the lawn mower, front loader, and backhoe attachments. There are a few smaller ones that we might add as time goes on.
Hubby has been using it to dig out some stumps and gather the mass of leaves still on the ground. See that big pile in my composter on the right side of the photo below? Those are from only a small section of what we have in the yard.
