National Christmas Tree lighting

A few weeks ago, I found out we could enter a drawing for tickets to the National Christmas Tree lighting. So I entered us, and low and behold we won tickets. Last Thursday was the big event, and I thought I had brought enough warmth for us (blankets, jackets, hats, scarfs), but we were still cold. We had a great time though, and although we werent able to stay til the end of all the performances (due to freezing) we got to hear the President speak, and saw the Christmas Tree lit by the first family. It was very neat! Here are a few photos...

(This is the tree before it is lit, I didnt get a good one after it was lit, my hands were shaking- brrr)

(They are so cute!)

(This is Mr President, obviously from a distance)

(This is the White House, so pretty!)
