Massachusetts Part 1
We loaded up the kids and left Atlanta around 5:00 AM on December 21. We arrived in Washington DC around 7:00 PM where we spent the night in a downtown hotel. We walked a few blocks to visit the National Christmas Tree near the white house. It's a little cheesy, but it was late and cold, so we just pushed the strollers in front of the tree to take a picture.
We left DC early on the 22nd and finished our drive to Topsfield, Massachusetts, and the beautiful new home of Matt's sister Dana and her husband Andrew. James was pretty tired after such a long car ride!
The next day, Claire was excited to meet her canine cousin "Genny Dog!"

While doing some shopping in nearby Newburyport, we stopped for some hot chocolate in a little restaurant that happened to have a fun play area for Claire.
We had a delicious Christmas Eve dinner with some members of Andrew's family. Claire loved playing with the big girls!
Christmas Morning
On December 20, we had our Christmas morning. We got a play castle for Claire and James. We set it up in the living room for her to find.

We took the kids caroling with a group from church. We visited a nursing home and a shut-in. Everyone loved seeing the children in our group.
Claire was a good little hostess for our Christmas party
