We made it back from our traveling adventure!
We're back safe and sound at home reflecting on the last three weeks and the whirlwind that is Christmas.
Maddie had a great time at my parents house with Nana and Pop-Pops meeting all the aunts and cousins and then hit the ground running in North Carolina staying at Grandma and Grandaddy Herndons house for a few days in Apex visiting with and meeting the aunts and relatives there. We had a LONG car ride home but made it back in one piece.
I have lots of pictures to post... so bare with me.
Let's start with our visit to my best friend Kristins in Lunenburg, MA! Its become an annual tradition to get together at Kristins house with our friends Melissa and Mike whenever Im home to visit and catch up and of course- hang out with her kids (my favorite part). Melissa and Mike have a new addition to their family this year too so it was so nice to see them and meet their new sweet baby girl Sara. I wish we lived closer to them ... but until we do we're just going to have to do our best to get together every chance we get.
Here are her kids opening up their presents from us. They had no idea what the movies were or why they needed backpacks with their names on them... but they were all smiles and all excited anyway. I wish I had taken a picture of Kate walking around the house with the silver gift bag on her shoulder like a purse... too cute. Is she a girlie girl, or what?

And here is Maddie being held by Auntie Kristin. Kate was so sweet with Madelyn. So gentle and caring. Look at her petting Maddie's foot!!! She would make a GREAT big sister. :)
Here is Kate holding Maddie for a picture. So cute.
And here are the kids on the floor crashing out after a Wiggles dance party.
The girls and their babies. Even Rita got to sneak into the picture.
I'll finish up this post with our visit to Kristins and write more posts to document our Christmas adventure chronologically. I have a hard time uploading photos in blogger and not having the spacing get all weird (if some one knows how to fix this, please let me know). So... stay tuned. More to come.
