Schnelle Christmas

Gabe and I spent Christmas with his family in SW Missouri. Christmas at the Schnelle's is always an awesome time. The whole family gathers for feasting and fun and it usually is at least a 2 day affair.

Gabe's mom with all the grand kids. Yea, we are adding a little late, but there is always room for one more!
Patiently waiting to open gifts.
It isn't Christmas in Missouri without the St. Louis Cardinals apparel.

Its too much excitement for Cheyenne.

As is tradition, after feasting, the family gathers for some type of game. (this year it was competitive BuzzWord). Then we break up into smaller groups and play games and watch movies until the wee hours of the morning. Of course, I am always the first to poop out. I end up going to bed at 11:30.

The weather was really strange. It was 70 degrees and very humid, making for a very uncomfortable night. Then a cold front moves through and this morning, as we were packing up to head home, we were under a tornado warning. Tornadoes at Christmas??

Tonite, back at home, Gabe and I celebrated our Christmas with a quiet meal and leftover fudge and cookies. Check out my Christmas gift! Yep, I have the world's greatest hubby!
The little bean had her share of fun too. She is moving around more than ever now and certainly made her presence known when she felt like it. My tummy actually visibly moves around now. My weekly preggo email says I have 77 days left. eeeeek!
