Long time comin'

Since my last blog . . .
* Christmas came and went. I'll attach some highlights.
* Floors are finally finished. Yea! And we have our kitchen back.

William's first Christmas Tree Lot experience.
William trying to control Madelyn. Must come from the Hertenstein genes.
Brad with his kiddos shopping for a tree.

Found a tree and got it up.
Now it's time to decorate with lights.
Brad thought that should apply to Maximus too.
William making decorations to hang on the tree.
William methodically placing his hand crafted ornaments.
William and Santa. Unfortunately, this Santa blew up the week after Christmas, so our idea of seeing how William 'measures up' to Santa each year won't work.


Festival of Dancing Lights at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
"Snow" falls during the Dancing Lights. It's really soap bubbles, but for our Florida boy - he thinks it's really cool.
Maddie dancing in the street while the lights "dance".

Pajama party at Dan & Steph's. MiMi and PopPop bought the kids matching/coordinating Christmas pajamas. We decided to do a movie night and let the kids have popcorn in their PJs. We were hoping for a perfect picture. Hmmm. Not so much.


Christmas Eve service. The kids are invited on stage for the telling of the Christmas story. William was quite eager to answer Ms. Helen's question.
Kids' Christmas outfits.

Christmas Morning. William overwhelmed by the gifts.

Maddie new exactly what to do when she saw her baby accessories.
Sunglasses.

William loves his 'shooting' truck from Uncle Steve & Aunt Debbie.
Maddie and her blocks.

Family gift exchange on Christmas night. Uncle Dan and Maddie are hanging.
