M: Christmas in D.C. Part 1

Hi everyone! Merry Christmas! So, I just wanted to share some pics of our holiday vacation in D.C. Bryan's parents are from that area so that's where this year's Christmas was spent. It being Christmas and all I don't have much time to share too much, but here are some fun pics =)

The greatest thing about sharing Christmas in your hometown is you get to see your best friends and spend time with family that you love and....yep....get home cooked meals from Mom that you've loved for years =) Even though this isn't where I grew up, Bryan's family and friends have become my extended family as well, so it's just as much fun for me as it is Bryan to come to D.C.
