White House Carolers



Thank you for taking Alexis, Kimberly, she had an amazing time.

Alexis goes to the White House






Alexis went with Kimberly to the White House. It was a very special event, only White House staff was invited. She had a great time. It's decorated so beautiful. The theme this year is A Red, White, and Blue Christmas. You'll notice Uncle Sam at the entrance. Alexis really wanted to try the gingerbread house, covered in white chocolate, who wouldn't.

The Capitol


The tree is absolutey beautiful. The tree and ornaments were provided by Montana this years, hence the cowboy hats, boots, and even a cowboy snowman.

The Capitol Christmas Tree

Museum of Natural History

We went to the Museum of natural history. Yes, those are fish ornaments on the Christmas tree. We saw the Hope diamond, jewelry worn by royalty, completely stunning, and tons and tons of rocks and minerals. The amethyst is giagantic. The sign on the wall says, Please touch. We also saw an exhibit about the ocean and animal life. There was a squid on display that was bigger than me.
