I love the National Gallery. It is always a place I used to go to to spend a few hours wandering through the galleries, some very quiet spaces. I have gone with Matteo but of course, not as often. I hoped we would get a chance to go to see their big Christmas tree. We were invited to the Tree lighting but couldn't make it but after seeing this lovely tree, we decided that with next year's invitation we definitely want to see it lit up. Matteo, like his mommy, loves Christmas trees!! I
also especially love the large spider sculpture titled Maman that graces the front entrance. I remember visiting many times during the long wait for Matteo wondering if ever I would become a mommy…and of course this time, wondered if I would be blessed again to be another child's mommy.
We had a good time for the most part, though Matteo was tired. I'm glad we went and hope to go more often if we can. We threw some coins in one of the fountains and made some special wishes!!
….anyhow the other photos are of our gingerbread house decorating and then of course, our new kittens. The bonding is definitely going very well with us and especially Matteo. We're still working on the other cats though.
For now, our holiday has been quiet, a bit more difficult than I would have liked, considering that I had visions of two children this Christmas, but it has been going as well for the most part. I hope the same for all of you!
