I absolutely love the snowmen, and the different candy trees are truly magical.  |

Thank you for sharing. The snowflakes are amazing! It's all really lovely. Amongst the snowflakes are one for each state. In my picture, you can see that the larger one to the left has the California Bear and says "California." You can see Colorado to the right. They were very beautiful, and new this year. I loved them. |

Last year they had a robotic Bo. I love that they include the dogs each year. The trees to either side of them were made of tennis balls!  |

I love snowmen so I really like the garden of snowmen. It got even better when there was a picture floating around showing two Star War Strom Troopers joined the field of snowmen.
I think it's neat that you got to visit the White House this time of year. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Thanks for sharing. I really like the dog display - adorable. The gingerbread house is always a favorite of mine.

These are great. Thanks for sharing.
So are they different each year? Or are some the same and some different?

I love watching the HGTV special about the decorating of The White House. You can get some good ideas and I am always so impressed by how quickly the people get the items in, get it decorated, and then get out all in one weekend. Just so impressed by the level of organization and how often they re-use previous decorations. 90% of the decorations are from previous years. I love the white snowflakes going down that hall. I thought the theme was so beautiful this year, each room's decor fitting the color or character of the room. I love the candy trees and the bright colors in the State Dining Hall and of course the tennis ball trees with the dogs. I also love that they did an actual gingerbread house with the addition of the wings of the White House included. I loved the silver and silver bells in the lower cross hall area. My favorite room is usually the Red Room. I also like that they show how the Vice-President's home is decorated as well. link |

These are great. Thanks for sharing. So are they different each year? Or are some the same and some different? The Crèche is the same - it is gorgeous and elaborate - but everything else changes. So, it is definitely worth the schlep downtown with the kids to see it! |
