This morning Mama started by putting some spices on our New Year's Eve prime rib roast! We can't wait until that bad boy starts cooking!

                                     



We had a great day of playing and running around the house. Then Nana and Papi came to see us! It was a great surprise!







Then we all played some Hed Bandz together. We love that game. It's so much fun!! And we had a blast playing!





                                    

The roast was cooking by this point and making the whole house smell amazing!



When it came out it was PERFECT! We couldn't wait to eat dinner. And when we did, boy was it amazing! And one of our favorite New Year's Eve traditions!



                                     

                                    

Later we snuggled up to watch Mary Poppins in Daddy and Mama's room! And before we knew it, it was 11:30pm!



Poor little Jax fell asleep but Kai and I made it and we were going to ring in the New Year with Mama and Daddy. We were so excited!



                                     

But we were so loud blowing our horns before midnight that we woke Jax up. But that's okay, then he got to join us for the count down! We all got to yell Happy New Year at midnight. Then it was straight to bed! It was a super fun night!



                                     

                                     

This morning we did some cleaning up around the house. Then this afternoon we headed to the AMC Theaters to see the new Spider Man Movie. It was SO GOOD! We all loved it. Even Daddy and Mama!



                                     

Later we walked down to our friends the DiNicola's house to have a bonfire, roast some marshmallows and run around playing tag and Laser X! It was so much fun. But our Daddy had to stay home with Kai who wasn't feeling well. He was sleeping off a bad cold and congestion. We missed them but we had a super fun time! We hope Kai will come with us for some fun next time!

                                     

 

                                     

                                     

This morning we played a little HedBandz while Mama went grocery shopping and to run some errands. Then she got a car wash. She said it wasn't as fun without us...



                                     

It ended up being a pretty nice, sunny day so we played some of our new bowling game outside. Then Joseph and Liam joined us and we played some more games outside. It was lots of fun!

                                     

                                     

                                     



Later I got to make dinner from my America's Test Kitchen Kids cook book that I got from Santa. I made hot ham and cheddar sliders. Mama got all the ingredients ready for me and I did it all! I even got to put it in and take it out of the oven. It was a lot of fun!

                                     

                                     

We all had Kai's sandwiches and boy were they tasty! He did a great job and we all loved it!



Later we had a family game of Hed Bandz. It was so much fun and funny! We laughed and had a great time playing!





                                     



                                      

Then we took showers and got hunkered down in Daddy and Mama's room. We watched a movie and then hit the hay. It was a good day!

Today we got to go see Mama's office in the morning so Daddy could give her some ideas on how to organize her office and get some things moved. And we got to play on the ping pong table before we left.



Then we headed to Fish Taco for lunch. It was so yummy and fun!

                                     



When we got home Daddy let us open another Treasure X outside so we wouldn't make a big mess in the house...good luck with that!



Later we headed down town for our annual DC run around. That view never disappoints!

                                     

It was a mild night so we really lucked out. Our first stop was the US Botanical Gardens to see the train display and then walk around the gardens and rain forest!



                                    





This year's theme was train stations around the country. They were all replicas of well known train stations all made from natural materials. And boy were they cool. 

                                     

                                     

                                      

                                     

Then we wandered through the building. We love going up top in the rain forest. It's like being in another world!

                                    

Then it was off to the Capitol to see the Capitol Gingerbread house. It looked amazing! We love seeing all the details and all the little gingerbread senators throughout the display!

                                     



Mama loves these little doors that are all over the capitol. She says they are little ferry doors...

                                     

Then we headed outside to run around the Capitol Christmas Tree! It was beautiful again this year! And it's so fun to run around the Capitol grounds with my brothers!

                                      

                                     

                                     

                                     

                                     

Next up was a little adventure to Georgetown! We walked around, checked out some shops and then stopped into 90 minute pizza for some amazing neopolitan pizza. It was so yummy and truly ready in 90 seconds!!

                                     



We stopped by one of Mama and Daddy's favorite restaurants, Filomena, for a little photo op. We can't wait to come back and eat here some day soon!

                                     

Then we hit some of the Georgetown lights displays. This one was so cool. It looked like laser beams! We had such a fun night. We can't wait for our next adventure!!

                                      

                                     





It was a great DC kind of night! We love our city!
