Happy Birthday, Zion!

Rebekah spent Saturday afternoon at a birthday party for her daycare friend, Zion. Zion's birthday party has been the talk among the daycare kids for the last two weeks due to the promise of one item: a moonbounce.  Rebekah spent nearly the entire party bouncing. Here are Rebekah and Zion pausing for a picture together: 

Even Mom got inside to check it out:

Here are the girls taking a rest for some popcorn:

Happy fourth birthday, Zion!

Newseum

Rebekah visited the Newseum in DC today. Among the highlights, Rebekah took in a 4-D movie...

and rode the world's largest hydraulic elevator to the Newseum's terrace along Pennsylvania Avenue.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!

Christmas Eve 2011

Earlier this evening, Rebekah was interviewed about Christmas:

In addition to the above video, Rebekah dictated the following letter to leave out for Santa:

Dear Santa,
Merry Christmas! I want presents please. I'm a good girl. I was a good girl at school and at my birthday party. I use the potty now. I want train tracks and puzzles. Thank you. Are you sneaking in my house?
Love,
Rebekah

'Tis the Season

Rebekah is very excited about the holiday season and has been attending all of the events around town. As she did last year, Rebekah has returned to ZooLights at the National Zoo.

Yesterday, Rebekah visited Christmas on the Potomac at the Gaylord National Resort in National Harbor, Maryland. Rebekah saw the daily tree lighting ceremony, which included a choreographed music, light, and water fountain show and dancing characters from DreamWorks like Shrek and Kung Fu Panda.

In addition, there are two houses around the corner in DC that go all out for Christmas. One house covers itself in thousands of lights. Across the street, another house lines its yard with inflatable characters.

Fortunately, Rebekah still has another two weeks to indulge in the festivities.
