Mary Theresa's Visit

Here are some pics from the visit of my little sister Mary Theresa and her boyfriend Adam. We had a wonderful time. As always, it's fun and special to have time as one big family (like when we get together for family reunions and big holidays), but it's also fun and special--in a different way--when we get together on a more one-on-one basis. A lot of the time we just hung out: always fun! Other activities were visiting the National Botanical Gardens (and its Christmas train display), visiting the National Christmas Tree and seeing Santa, going to Ikea and Wegmans, playing games, listening to a symphonic of Handel's Messiah at the Kennedy Center, dinner at Olive Garden, and lots of great conversations.
