Christmas #1 of 3

Our first Christmas celebration was with J's parents who came to visit over the weekend.

We began by unwrapping presents, and everyone got some fun gifts!

We also took a trip into the city to visit the National Museum of American History.

In front of the Capitol (and 'Santarchy').

This guy is juggling a basketball, a bowling ball, and a tennis racket!

The First Ladies exhibit - awesome.

Michelle Obama's Inaugural Ball gown. 

13-ton piston in the 'Power Machinery' exhibition.
Used in a 1904 steam engine to supply electricity
to the New York City subway.

More of the piston.

Of course, there was also a visit to Mount Vernon for the special Christmas additions.  Like Aladdin the Camel.

And the presidentially-pardoned turkey, Liberty.

Don't worry, Liberty.  We ate pork for our Christmas dinner.

Merry Christmas!
