Last night after dinner, Sketchy and I made an impromptu stop at the White House to check out the national and state christmas trees. He missed a whole half of his game for this -- huge points for Sketchy! Great game too. Boo Pats!
A few years ago I went to the lighting of the national christmas tree. Actually a while ago because it was President Bush! In the recent years it's been a downright shitshow to get tickets to the lighting ceremony. I believe you have to sign up for a lottery sometime in October. Next year I'm going to be more on top of things! I'd really like to take Sketchy to the lighting.
There were quite a few really amazing state trees. This year's theme seemed to be art students from a random school in each state made ornaments for the tree. I'll only bombard you with a few that I thought were really pretty!
National Christmas Tree 2012
Florida Tree -- oranges. Naturally.
These were super cute. Can't remember which tree they were from!
Such detail in these hand painted ornaments.
These were amazing! New York ornaments. So pretty in person.
Another really amazingly hand painted ornament.
Sparkly ornaments on the Virginia tree!
Sketchy and his Virginia tree. =)
Monday is so boring. Very excited for tomorrow though. Can post some of our Christmas pictures tomorrow! =)
Countdown to Florida: 2 Days.
next year we should try to get tickets to the lighting! I am sad I didn't get to go the year i got tickets!
