Holidays in DC

We ended 2009 and celebrated Christmas in DC with family and friends. Thanks to the record snowstorm shortly before the holidays, there was still plenty of snow for Christmas along  with a bright blue winter sky. Very lovely.
Though life in Peru as expats has its benefits and excitements, it's a true joy to return to the familiar of DC and warmth of so many good friends. Here are some photos:

Christmas and New Years with friends and family

Since we happened to be between renters, we celebrated New Years Day with a party in our empty house. It was a bring-your-own-chair sort of affair.
