We had so much crazy fun this Thanksgiving. We had every single family member on Dereks side over which amounted to about 70 people. Most of it was spent playing with cousins. At first Jude was nervous but before to long we couldn't pry him away. He wanted to follow thwm around to do what they did. It was so cute, and Alice was getting snuggled and held by everyone. I don't think there was a moment where Alice wasn't being held.
we gathered all of those 70 people and took a family photo that we will get in a couple weeks. But during Thanksgiving dinner most of the kids were playing in the leaves having a great time. They were all working together to make a big pile of leaves and Jude was helping one leaf at a time.

...at one point Derek was entertaining all the kids by running around and getting them to throw leaves at him. They all had so much fun and we were cracking up watching them crack up. Poor Derek eventually ended up in a tree with all the kids throwing leaves at him.

By the end of the day both Jude and Alice were comatose. Conked out from all the fun.
