Hey Diane,
You're leaving to go back on my birthday....yup Oct 31 is my birthday and Jasmine's is Oct 30.....
Onto surprising the boys.....for Jasmine's 12th birthday I surprised her with 2 weeks in WDW. I don't know how I did it, but I kept the secret for a whole year. This is what I did....took the Thurs and Fri off work so after she went to school, I packed then hid the suitcases before I picked her up. On the Friday, my BFF Brenda picked me up at home then we went to the school and picked Jasmine up. We had the suitcases in the back of her SUV covered with a blanket. I sat in the backseat with my other BFF who was going with us (she loves WDW her husband hates it) so when Jasmine came out of school she sat in the front seat. All along she thought we were meeting 2 other families to celebrate our birthday's for dinner. Brenda said "We just have to swing by the airport cause Uncle Eric has a parcel coming in Air Canada Cargo"....no problem....we get there and Brenda says, can you guys come in with me I don't know where I'm going.\
Of course I have to play along and I said...." Are you serious, the counter is right when you walk in that door...she said I know but please, you know I hate going in to pick stuff up when I'm unsure. Jasmine turns around and says, Mom, it's not a big deal don't be so mean...come on Auntie Brenda we'll all go.
When we got out, she said let me grab a bad to put the parcel in and when she opened the back, Trish pulled the blanket off, we started singing Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Jasmine, you're going to Disney......we were all crying by this time, but it took her a few minutes to process. Once we got in and checked in we went up to the departure level and friends and family were all waiting to give her the best birthday send off ever......It was truly magical!!!!
Can't wait to see what you have planned......
