Christmas...in Reston!


After so many fun events that led us to Christmas, the Carlson family had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas day. All Ella wanted for Christmas was princess stickers and princess scissors. Easy enough for Santa! Caroline of course didn't care either way but certainly enjoyed the festivities and tearing up the wrapping paper! After our traditional Christmas Eve mass and visit to McCormick & Schmidts for drinks and appetizers, we came home to leave Santa cookies and milk and open just on present under the tree...such the tease for Ella!
By the morning, both girls were quite excited and after we spent some time with the four of us, we headed to Erika's parents home to continue the Christmas celebrations!
