Firsts

Lots of firsts in this past trip to Washington! I dare you to make it all the way to end. There are some pretty funny/cute ones. Some firsts not featured:

Our first time having an overnight layover, which led to our first time getting a hotel since having kids, also our first hotel that had shared bathrooms. Good thing we were only at our hotel 4 hours, and didn't even use the showers.

We also experienced our first time keeping our girls up until midnight on New Year's Eve, not on purpose (our flight was delayed and we had an adventure getting our hotel during our overnight layover)

Emily's first time sitting up! At 5 1/2 months!

 Abigail's first time wearing mascara! At 2 1/2 years!
