Christmas Time In Washington, DC

My time in Washington D.C. was magical.  Look at my beautiful girls.  Maggie is on the right.  She is Evalyn's daughter who is in the center.  Laura Gunn is on the left.  She's the daughter who designs fabric.

 

 

 

 

 

 And then there is me and I often wonder why my daughters never got their full height.  We are at the Ford Theater to see A Christmas Carol.  It was a marvelous adaptation with lots of traditional carols.  The cast was charming and the ghosts haunting and we were all changed in the end.

 

 

 

 

 

 Ross and Wendy made it down to Washington from Morristown, New Jersey.  Ross is sporting a beard which I love.  It reminds me of his father.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Lily Grace Gunn who is twelve.  She is sweet and generous and a joy to have about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Her Aunt Wendy, our family Diva, is a treasure and attracts every child with her magic.  She and Ross went back to New Jersey after a day and a night, to make music and teach little ones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Laura's festive mantel is entirely of her making, except for the stockings which are my contribution.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, you remind me of a Bailey tradition.  We love exuberant, trashy trees.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Darling brother, Uncle Ross came up to D.C. from Martinsberg, West Virginia.  He and his wife, Sharon, were there to share a Christmas Eve feast and the Nativity Pagent, a tradition of the Coleman's.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Pretty in pink is our Aunt Sharon.
