We managed to make it back to North Liberty before the storm hit! We spent Christmas Eve with Grama Shari and Papa Ed, Uncle Ryan and Tara, and Great Grama Terry and Great Uncle Dan. It's been about 10 years since I have spent Christmas Eve with my family! It was really great and brought back lots of memories.
Squiz rescued Rudolph before the carnage began! Rudolph has seen 30 plus years of Schmidty Christmases. It's hard to even see the two of them among all of those presents. I don't know who's worse, my brother or my son! If they had their way, gifts would be put in piles according to name and if theirs didn't have the most, they would take them from other people's piles!I don't know which Squiz loved more, her giraffe or some random box and the piece of cardboard that was found in the inside! Why buy toys when you have loads of wrapping paper and empty boxes?
Libby made quite a hall! She was super excited because she got almost everything on her Christmas list. Everything from the fake snake to scare her brother with to the scary eyeballs! I thought she was going to jump out of her skin!
You know you have way TOO many gifts to open when you fall asleep during all the commotion!
Maison made an equally great haul. I am always surprised by the simple things they like! We can never have too many markers or other "crafty" items at our house! What I love about them is when their used up, I can throw them away without feeling guilty! Maison is quite the movie buff. I don't think there is Disney movie he hasn't seen!
We didn't lose Rudolph in the carnage,
but we lost Daddy!
