All I Want For Christmas Is To Tell My Boys!

Yup, not telling her until the day we leave. We're still working out how we're going to tell her!

Oh my gosh! I'm glad we aren't waiting any longer. It's questionable at this point if I can keep it in 3 more days!! :rotfl: I can't even sleep at night!

I'm sure you will think of a great way to tell her! :goodvibes

I'm going crazy! I haven't been sleeping so great either! I stay up thinking of ways to tell her. Nothing is jumping out at me yet!
 
The "Surprise Box"!

The surprise box will be in the back hidden behind all the other gifts and given to the kids last. They will be told to open it slowly and carefully as it will be in layers!

Thanks! :goodvibes I got the wrapping paper at the Dollar Tree! Last year they had some nice Disney wrapping paper with Mickey & Minnie and the gang, so that's what I went after, but they only had Tink this year. Not really the boys favorite character :rotfl: but I'm sure they won't mind once they see what's inside!!
 
I Love it shelly.... my Dbro is telling my DNiece by wrapping her new Disney luggage and inside they will put a note saying something like pack your bags we are leaving to Disney and they bought a lot of little things to put in there.... but they won't tell her the day ( i think that was the last thing they said) just to make sure she has her bags packed.... i told them that was torture and mean.... but we'll see what they finally end up doing... and with Seacrest's help i got her mickey ears and i picked up a lanyard starter set in the world of Disney store in NYC.... i can't wait.....

I can't wait to see your DS's reactions... they are going to be SO EXCITED....

Oh! I love the box! I was wondering what you meant by layers....Silly me I was thinking layers of tissues paper. Much better than what was in my mind. I may have to borrow that idea. I even have the wrapping paper already! Only 3 more days to go. I love the idea of the Disney Countdown!
We will have 14 days to countdown. I know the kids would love to have a visual reminder every day. Great idea! I love it and will most likely borrow it!

Keeping the secret for only a few more days! We can do it!
 
Super cool box!! I wish I was surprising my kids, but I could NOT pull it off. Way to go!
 
Hey Shelly! I made it here! :cool1: :cool1: :cool1:

Awesome thread and great pics of your surprise box! Great idea!

Shelly, the box is AMAZING! So creative! Your boys will be beside themselves! Be prepared not to sleep for a couple of days while they bounce around the house with excitement!
 
WOW...that box is amazing!! You're boys are going to be so excited!! Sorry I'm late to this thread...all your waiting is going to pay off in 3 short days!!!! The look when they figure it all out...priceless!!!
 
Awesome Box!!! They are going to be so excited! Can't wait to see pics of their surprised little faces! :santa:

Thanks for all of your kind words! :goodvibes I am so glad everyone likes the surprise box! I was starting to wonder if I should have done something a little more creative, but I feel better about it now!

I think that's pretty creative - what a great idea, your boys will be thrilled. It's fun that we get to share it, too - yay for the DIS!
 
:goodvibes This will be fun, I could use a smile. I will be back later tonight to read.
