On December 1, we went to see A Christmas Carol at Ford's Theater. We really loved it--beautiful, intimate venue, fantastic music, and of course a timeless message. At the end, the cast took collections for a local organization, Miriam's Kitchen, which I thought was a fitting way to honor the meaning of the show.
We forgot our camera to snap a picture, and the photo we took with my old-school flip phone is terrible. But it was a perfect night, I love being the city at Christmas with all the decorations and twinkling lights. And we capped off the night with our first trip (of many yet to come) to Fro-Yo.
Then, on December 8, we went to see the National Tree, Santa's Workshop, and just walk around downtown.

On December 10, we went to see Handel's Messiah performed by the National Philharmonic at Strathmore. It was pretty amazing--stunning venue, great seats, beautiful voices, and an unbelievable piece of music.
I had been at school for almost 12 hours that day, and Marc picked me up from my building and we headed out. We were in a rush and stopped for dinner at a taco truck in Silver Spring at a gas station we passed. That is so perfectly "us"--all dressed up and eating tacos and pupusas and drinking atol de elote. Aunt Rachel watched the kids, and she & Aunt Elizabeth even took them to the ward Christmas party.
