Madd Max Kicks Off The Holiday Season

By heading to the YMCA Tree Lot to get a Christmas tree.
Both kiddos loved the shaking of the trees to get extra needles off, and were slightly intimidated by the chain saws.
That evening the fam headed down to Diane's house for her Naples Boat Parade party, where George and Eric were also in attendance.
After loading up on Mediterranean food and refilling drinks in plastic cups, everyone headed out for the walk to the canals. Maddie held one of the many whirring lights Diane had handed out to the gang of 30, used to find each other in the crowds.
While Maddie used the backpack, Max was hand carried. Eric, seen here with Kathleen, pitched in give Jess' arms a break.
He also was the first to show Max the boats, which blew Max's mind.
A bad picture of the event. About 90% of the homes along the canals get decked out in lights, and the boats are similarly adorned. Both kids were amazed, and Jess began to feel like Christmas was here in California.
