Last Wednesday Josh, Jude, and I made the trip to Galesburg to celebrate a belated Christmas with Josh’s family. Not only were Makenzie, Erin, and Grant there, but Josh’s brother and sister-in-law (that would be Richie and Jenny) were also there visiting from Philly.

Including Jude, there were 10 of us at my in-laws’ house. That meant that at any given moment, there were seven “new” people to play with and entertain Jude. He had such a fantastic time. He was doted on from morning to night; he was showered with gifts; and he got to spend three full days with people who love him in immense proportions.

Highlights from the trip include-

Snowbunny underwear in all the girls’ stockings:

The three-day Scrabble tournament:

Going to the gun show:

Finding out that this girl only has seven months left until she gets to hold her own baby!

In case you’re wondering, this brings the number of preggo friends up to nine. AND, since the last count, one of my friends had her baby! Egads! That’s a lot of pregnant women!
