[that's nice]

It was a CHance to CHant a CHeer for a few CHoice CHanges in your number of updates and CHide a few others who might CHoose to CHeer and CHant along with yours CHruly!!! (okay, okay, I know that last one was a stretCH!)

Man, it must have taken you a while to BOLD all those CH's.

Just read through all of the updates. What a cool way to get to the airport - Santa and wii bowling!

That playground looks awesome! The entire place looks awesome! What a lovely way to start Juliana's make a wish trip.

We arrived at the airport in style- that's for sure!

It was a great start to a great trip! More to come soon....

I am truly speechless.

Did you help Marv with this????

Did you help Marv with this????

No, I'm being a good girl because Santa won't come see me otherwise. And I've been speechless since last night. We went to the high school to watch wrestling. We have a neighbor who has four children -- the youngest is 22 months and the oldest is 16 years old; the 16 year old wrestles (Markie used to coach him in the youth league) and they live a block away from us. I've taken care of the baby before and I see her all the time. Well, she was with one of the other mom's (this woman's son is wrestling for the time time this year and had no idea who I was) because Shannon (her mom) was working concessions. She saw me walk in and ran up to me and jumped on my leg to pick her up. This mom then proceeds to say, "you must be her grandma." I about died. And, of course, charming DH just sat there and laughed; I can tell you that there will be COAL in his stocking this year.

Oh my.... grandma Kathy!

Well, at least Mark just sat there an laughed and didn't add any comments- which I'm sure he could of!

 

[Woth2982]

WOW... You are back already. You planning on doing a TR?

Glad you are caught up!

Yeah it was a short trip 5 days total. It was QUITE cold! I got frost bite on my knuckles and a mangled foot that may be broken (I mean really, they shouldn't put sidewalks on the ground where dumbos like me can trip on them), if it still hurts tomorrow I will go to the ER. Based on that you would THINK it was an awful trip, but we had a blast!

Reminds me of the first time my mom met my BIL's mom. She knocked on the door, my mom answers it, and says, " oh, you must be Cody's grandma, come on in!".

 

[TarzansKat]

I'm late to the party, but lovin' the report so far! I really enjoy reading about your sweet family.

 

[JPFamilyMom]

I swear I wrote a post earlier, but can't find it. so now I'll just say WOW, what a great place "Give Kids the World" is. I'm glad it is so nice, and it looks like you all had a good time. I LOVE the look of the houses. so cute. Can't wait to see what else you all do.

 

[dizneeat]

Just caught up again! That "real life" thing always interferes with my DISlife!

GKTW looks awesome! I love your villa, so much space, that's just wonderful on vacation and the playground looks like a whole lot of fun! No wonder Ana loved it!

Can't wait to hear more!

I'm glad you had a great time! Although frostbite and a broken foot doesn't sound too good... but it makes for a great TR!

WOOPS! Oh man... that's harsh!

TK! Glad you made it!!!!!

Hey! I've had my posts go missing a few times recently too. I don't know if I posted or just thought I posted.

The houses are really cool. I hope to have an update on Sunday.... i hope.

The villa was very spacious. It was quite big for the 3 of us.

Juliana really did love the playground. There were a few mornings that we had to 'fight' her to get into the car... she just wanted to play over there!

Just checking in Tim and waiting for more pix !!!

Hey Tim! I'm here, joining in!

I have to say I read Juliana's whole story to my mom just now (I had already read it on your PTR) and even the second time around for me, we were both crying. To think of all that beautiful little girl has been through is just heartbreaking. GKTW is amazing and Juliana deserved every minute of this trip!

What a cool looking resort!! I would have wanted to run right over to the playground too Can't wait to hear more!

Juliana has made it a long way since her 1st birthday. She is doing well now and we are looking forward to 8/2012!!!!!

What a cool looking resort!! I would have wanted to run right over to the playground too Can't wait to hear more!

The village is totally awesome. Everything is geared towards kids.

Luvin the fact "Santa" brought ye to the airport

It was really cool. I think we all were shocked to find out that Santa was driving us!

Thank you for the kind words!

I think the playground and all the houses around it are new. Were they there when you stayed at GKTW?

 

[englishrose47]

That;s Okay Tim !!This is a busy season !!Did ya see I posted some more DC Meet pix !!!

 

[Pollito916]

They were wearing matching shoes! I didn't realize I had a picture of that. Melody would be soon cursing those shoes though. I think it was after our 1st park day.

I'm here, (fashionably?) late as usual. But I'm all caught up, love reading about sweet little Juliana What a cool start to her story - being driven to the airport by Santa!

btw - count me as another person that noticed the cute matching shoes Mel & Juliana wore. But I'm disappointed to hear Mel thought they were uncomfortable. I had been checking out what looks like similar shoes (are they skechers?) online recently, and they only had 1 review, but it was positive. Are they comfortable, but just not enough for a disney day of walking? I guess I'm glad I didn't order them yet.

I'm joining in

I had read Juliana's story on your PTR, but teared up again reading it just now.

You guys have all been through so much, and it's amazing that a place exists like this one to provide families some relief from it all.

Can't wait to hear more

 

[DisneyRed95]

Hi Tim!

I'm joining in as well! Juliana is such a beautiful little girl. I hope she had a blast on her MAW trip! Can't wait to hear all about it!

 

[marvali]

I'm trying.... I really am! So I pick the week before Christmas to start this TR... what was I thinking?

TR's? PTR's? I think they all suffer attention this time of year! The good news is everyone is in the same boat with you my friend!

In case I don't get another chance, I hope you, Mel and Princess Ana have a wonderful Christmas and a Great New Year!

we got to stay in one of the new houses it was only open 3 weeks before we stayed in one.
The playground was there but the pool was closed because they were making the new one.
