A few days after Christmas J and I took the kids to the Brandywine River Museum to see their annual Christmas model train layout as well as the dollhouse display that is, also, I believe up every Christmas.
The museum has a gorgeous big picture window looking out over the river.
One of my favorite things was seeing the various Christmas trees they had decorated using only natural elements.

Unfortunately all my pictures of the train layout are terrible-- it's actually somewhat hard to take clear shots in a dark room of a moving train!
I
loved the dollhouses. Ann Wyeth McCoy, the daughter of the painter Andrew Wyeth, apparently loved dolls and got some every year; when she married her husband built her a child-size (as in, big enough for a child to walk inside) doll house that she spent years furnishing and decorating. Her family eventually donated the dollhouse to the museum and they split up the rooms and displayed it. Absolutely amazing. The detail was incredible.
