Oh come on Tammie! The suspense is torture.
Can't you ditch work this week and stay home and work on the TR!?

I can totally see Jeff laying in bed just oblivious and in no rush whatsoever because, well....my husband is the exact same way. I have been Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy for 15 years while he snoozed away. He probably really still believes in Santa because things just magically appear and get done at our house and all he has to do is crawl out of bed ever so slowly.

Been checking out cruises for next Christmas (bound and determined to have another drama free Christmas)...no way that I can afford a Disney one! If we go out of Houston and book through Carnival we are looking at around $700 a person for a 5 day cruise ($3500)...then I can use the $500 airfare credit we have with SW and that will pay about 1/2 of the airfare...hmmm how can I sock away another $4000 for a Christmas Cruise on top of what we need to save for the addition to the cabin this fall?

I missed a couple updates. Sorry! Good thinking on the bag. Glad everything went well Christmas Eve and for waking up Christmas morning. Great pics so far! Looking forward to the next installment!

OMG! I have to say... along with everyone...


big box! big box!

The suspense is killing me. So far so good though... other than mil's little stunt. I had to laught at you asking Jeff if he was going to go with you. I tend to have that same type of attitude at times with my d.. dh

ACK!! I looked (briefly) too. Wow those are expensive. The only affordable disney cruise I found was for 2013..and no where near Christmas time. I am with you on it all... we need a new roof just as starters. I really need to not spend too much on travel this year. (2011 was spendy with a honeymoon we paid for and the 2 week December trip )

I wonder why Disney Cruises are soooo high....I mean like double and triple what other ones are!?

I know there is no way we can do a trip in 2012 (I have work related trips in May to St. Louis and June to Nashville so those are going to have to help squash the travel bug)...with the cabin and the fact that I need a new car and new living room furniture...well it is nice to dream. I also know that in 3 years we have promised to take Ab to Rome/Vatican for high school graduation if she completes at a Catholic High School and of course in 20 months there is this girl thing in someplace called WDW that is keeping me going....

I can't believe that happens in someone else's house too!

Tammie, I am loving your TR. Yours is putting mine to shame I can't wait to read more.

Wait. What?!?!

 

[sl_underwood]

I feel like Rex shaking the night stand screaming what is it!

 

[annmarieda]

You really do know how to keep us in suspense, Tammie!!!!

 

[lovethattink]

ROFL. I understand now how you could keep everything secret from the kids. You are a big sneak!!! Now you're practicing your skills on us...and it's working...

 

[veggiemama]

Well, you gave me a good chuckle off of that. You are really good at the suspense thing Tammie!

Of course, you have still left me chanting

BIG BOX, BIG BOX.... OPEN IT!!!!!!!
