First Tree

One of the best things of visiting a city like DC is that you get to see the whole country come together as one in events like the National Christmas Tree in front of the White House.


The main tree is surrounded by an installation of little trains moving all around little towns and bridges. On the area surrounding the tree there are smaller trees representing all the states and territories belonging to the US. Each tree is decorated with clear balls that inside have scenes and objects representing each state.


Finally, if you are in the DC area tomorrow and Wednesday stop by the Downtown Holiday Market on 8th and F Streets, NW right in front of the Smithsonian National Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery. Booth #46... Will be there my sister selling some of her amazing accessories and children's clothing {Fournier online shop}.


Have a great day!!!
