Our family was very privileged to host an honored guest this week! Traci's cousin's daughter Kira had to complete a school project where she would send a "flat" version of herself (ala Flat Stanley) to a host family, who would take pictures of the little doll wherever they went. For some reason....even though she knows people in way cooler places than DC...she chose us as that host family!! We were excited to do a good job with Flat Kira, so we took her to a lot of fun places. We also had a blast drawing and cutting out appropriate attire for Flat Kira to wear at our various locations. In this picture, Flat Kira wore a coat and hat to visit Katie's preschool class for the day. 
In addition to the school visit, Flat Kira got to do some cool things in Northern Virginia. She attended our friend Madeline's first birthday party, where she got to "sit" at the kids' table for cake and ice cream. We also took her to a big Super Bowl party - sporting Troy Polamalu's #43 jersey, of course - where she got to watch us scream at the TV in frustration.
Flat Kira also got to venture into the city for the day, when Mike took her to work and showed her some sites at his lunch hour. Not only did she get to "see" the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Headquarters, but she also visited the Verizon Center, the International Spy Museum, and the Capitol. Since she was in such formal surroundings, it was only natural that she would wear a suit and tie!! We hope Kira's class has as much fun seeing the pictures and reading the stories as we had conjuring them!!
