Our Family Blog – Mike, Louanne, Nadia, Amelie, & Dani
In 2016 one of my adoptive mom friends offered us the use of her condo in DC for 2 weeks while she had to go to a long work training. We jumped at the chance to take the girls! It was going to take us 2 days to drive each way.
Day 2 at the hotel in Nashville.
When we got to Caitlin’s this wonderful Edible Arrangement was waiting for us. It was wonderful after driving for 2 days.

We started New Years by heading to the Science and History museum and seeing the remodel of the dinosaur area. It is really cool!
The girls had a rest in the afternoon to prepare for the New Years Eve party we were going to.

Christmas Day 2016 was a sweet day. The girls got up and they got to open their stockings and then we ate breakfast and they finished opening their presents. For lunch we had Grandma Linda over from the nursing home. Then they played and played and played the evening away.
Here are some photos from the day after Christmas and the fun they had with their new goodies.
The 10th doctor in the Tardis was my gift.
They love to craft and Dani got some really cool tempura paint sticks that dry like watercolors. It was a wonderful Christmas season.
