25 days until we leave and 26 days until we hit the parks. I am about to burst. DS8 knows nothing about this trip. Santa is bringing it to him. Santa is going to leave 4 mylar Mickey balloons in front of the tree and each one will have something for the trip. One will be a special autograph book, one will be a pen, one will a tshirt, and I haven't figured out the 4th one yet(maybe mickey ears).
that is only part of the surprise. He has no clue that his older brother and older brothers GF are meeting us there for the trip. He won't see them until we arrive at the parks.
I am so excited I can't stand it.
I am making do a little more work for the surprise. I asked her months ago if it would be ok if she only got one christmas present from me. SHe was fine with it and has spent the last several month trying to guess what the one thing is so far she has come up with
...a blue box from Tiffany's
...a Nook
...and the camper for the american girl doll (she doesnt even have the doll, she just wants the camper)
she has no idea what she has in store for her
I have wrapped several boxes in side of each other, alternating between xmas wrap and birthday wrap since it is a combined present and we are going for her birthday
once she unwraps the first there is a not that says its a combined present and to open everything in number order
then another box and another until she gets to a box with a necklace with daisies on it , daisy duck is her favorite character, but these are just plain Daisy floweres, i figured i would through her off a bit.
Then the next one has the Halmark ornienment of the fisher price little people airplane, since we are flying to disney for the first time. I think she will just think that this is her orniement for the year I am guessing she will still still be clueless at the time
THe next has a container of playdough since we are staying at pop century.
Im not sure she will guess from here or not
so the 4th box contains a countdown chain, a very short one only 16 days till we leave at that point
the 5th has the deluxe dining brochure
the 6th has a list of our reservations
and the 7th has our airline tickets in it
Now i only have to keep it a secret a few more weeks
I apologize for being remiss in my OP duties. 
Was it just me or have the last month or two been crazy? Where did the time go? 
My daughter and I have so much fun anticipating the trip too though.
We will be in Ohio for Christmas until the 4th so I won't have much time to repack, but then we will be on the way to see Mickey!
