Our Kids Chose Friendship As Their Christmas Gift

Dorothy’s letter to Santa at the end says it all..🥹😍🥲 We love that of all the toys and things she could have asked for..her gift of choice is FRIENDS! 🥰 So we made it happen! The “schmuppies” are our besties from Utah who woke up on Christmas morning, surprised their own kids who didn’t know any of this was happening, then immediately left for the airport, still in their Christmas pajamas for a flight to Hawaii! ✈️ ps. If you look 2 posts ago at our teaser video you’ll see a lot of angry comments about how we waited and teased this surprise so much. Ummm that’s kind of how surprises work folks! Haha for weeks our kids had a giant box in our home and anytime they’d get too inquisitive and anxious Garrett would ask them, “I’ll tell you the answer right now OR do you want to wait for the surprise??” And every time they chose to wait. 3 LIFE LESSONS : Patience is a virtue. Friendship is a gift. And schmuppies are a surprise that is simply worth waiting for..! ❤️💙💚 #shorts #christmas #2026
