We spent the day after Thanksgiving with family. First, we went on a walk around the lake in Mimi and Boppa's neighborhood. We all wore red to take a family picture for Mimi and Boppa's Christmas letter so we took the opportunity to take more pictures of the kids (of course!).
Whose idea was this? At least Amelia is finally smiling!
Family looking like normal people (if it is normal for 11 individuals to show up wearing matching clothes).
Family looking like ridiculous holiday lawn ornaments. I'm the third reindeer on the right.
That evening the rest of my mom's family who live in Texas came, more than doubling the number of children (from 5 to 11). We spent the remaining daylight watching the kids play in the street. After dinner, we put on a movie for them. Here's 9 of the 11. 2 were already in bed. Abby's on the floor in purple jammies and Isaac is barely visible between her and cousin Luke in blue.
While the kids watched the movie and went begrudgingly to bed, the grownups played games downstairs (our favorite kid-free pastime).
We are thankful for our time with family and thankful that our family has so much fun together. What a blessing!
