National Christmas Tree Lighting

A good friend was able to secure us tickets to the National Christmas Tree Lighting on the Ellipse, near the White House. December 3 was a relatively clear day, but windy!
Z&C really liked the music (Sheryl Crow and others played live) and Santa's arrival. They weren't as excited about the First Lady reading a Christmas story, preferring to flirt with all the other people around us and dump Cheerios in the mud.
Zoe's BFF for the day: Kim!
My coy little angel.

It was my first attempt at getting the kids in to the city from Arlington on the metro by myself. I had one in a stroller and one by the hand, which worked out well enough until we neither of them wanted to walk or be in the stroller...
