The part where we become spies.

Our next adventure was to the international spy museum in DC. It was definitely our favorite museum we went to our whole trip. It was so cool! Photography was NOT allowed, so we don't have any cool pictures of us there, but I found some pictures on Google that (i hope) are legal ;)

But anyway, we learned all about spies and the cool gadgets they used and the history of espionage and the museum is very interactive. They have choose a cover and you have to memorize the details and live your cover. There are computers that ask you questions about your cover, to test how much you remember and you're given a mission. It was so fun! we totally felt like spies. ;) The exhibits were very, very interesting. Definitely recommend it!!


This is me being sneaky ;)






Anyway, we had a lot of fun. After the spy museum, we had some lunch and then checked out the air and space museum. By the time we were all done with that, we were exhausted and ready to get the metro back home.

While at home, my mom enlisted me as her "expert in cake decoration" for her relief society workshop called "Relief Society University". After a little entrance exam and a class on goal setting, I gave a little demo oh making borders and taught the sisters how to make stars and shells. It was a hit! It was great to do that with my mom.

This was great practice for my future food network show ;)

John and Jason were in charge of nursery. As the only little person that came didn't want to stay with them, we found the boys later like this:
ha ha ha But the workshop went really well. :)

Finally, (we're getting to the end of our trip!!) we played lots of games, made gingerbread houses and just enjoyed being together.


We used premade sets by wilton, but they turned out really good!

I did the big one. I'm quite proud of it. :)

Jen helped me make cinnamon rolls for our smorgasbord of goodies on New Years' Day

When it was finally all over, we caught a veeeeeerrrrry early flight to come back home. We'd had a blast, but we were ready to get back to a schedule and have some down time. We are so grateful for our families and the time we had to spend with them over the holidays. We love you!!!
