Merry Christmas from this chummy little boy!
Thomas got to meet Santa this year at my family's ward Christmas party.
At least he didn't cry!
Thomas and Grandpa Calton... oh and Sophie who we love
Mesa Temple Lights!
We helped him open one present but I think I was more excited about all of his presents this year than he was :). He did love the paper though! And he loves his toys... he just didn't know it at the time.
This year my family had a big fiesta on Christmas. We had a talent show, a pinata, and a delicious dinner complete with papusas and tamales. After that we had a white elephant gift exchange that turned out to be hilarious. Dave had the funniest present of all... a model pic of himself. He'll probably get mad at me for posting this someday, but I think it's hilarious so everyone needs to see the ridiculousness of the Schmidt family.
Sorry about the awful border. I didn't want to edit it :)
While we were with Matt's family we also went to an acquarium. It was a lot of fun. Thomas was totally fascinated by all the fish. I know he doesn't look that happy but he was definitely in a staring phase at this point of the day. Inside I'm sure he was happy haha
The last thing that happened over the holidays was not a fun part. We were hanging out with Matt's family, waiting for midnight on new year's when someone heard Thomas' crying. I went by the door to listen in on him and freaked out when I heard him having trouble breathing. I whipped the door open, flipped the lights on, and held him for a second before I got nervous and called Matt in. Thomas had been sick for the past few days with all the family and colds everywhere, but this was different. We skyped with Matt's brother-in-law who is a pediatrician and he helped us figure out that the little man had croup. We took him outside and helped him for a while, but ended up having my brother who is a PA call in a steroid for us so that we could take care of it that night. Luckily for us we were blessed with wonderful, caring people who were able to help us right away. We gave Thomas the medicine around 1AM and in the morning he sounded tons better. I am so grateful for medicine. I know I'm just a worried new mom, but it was scary for me. I'm so glad it was a short-term thing.
Anyway, the holidays were a ton of fun. We loved being with our family, but at the end of the trip we were definitely ready to go home and spend time as our own little family again.
