[leamom2princesses]

Thank you so much for the beautiful gift. It has a very special place in our home now. Loved the pics of the girls. Have a wonderful Christmas. Hope you get some "down time" soon.

You're welcome. Just a little surprise to help pick you up a little. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas also! Downtime should be coming very soon! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

P.S. I think our friends we went to the Smokies with are going to come to WDW the same week as us!!! I'm so excited...we will probably link them into our GG if that's okay with you. They have their own pin code so no worries there.

I'm certain you'll like them. They are a very nice family. Very cool and laid back. Their little girl is one year older than Avery.

Started pricing out 3 and 4 day cruises to tack on to our trip.....no decisions yet...just dreaming but it's very doable.

PS We're giving our parents their present tomorrow! I can't wait!!

 

[Charlefours]

Thanks Stephanie! Glad to see you back. I can't wait to hear about Lilian and Santa. Did you get to see The Princess and the Frog? Hope you have a happy birthday tomorrow!

We have not made it to the movie yet! We need to have a day when Lilian takes a nap because we want to do an early evening showing but she will pass out if she does not nap first!

Yay!!!

Thanks Kayce! Are you ready for Christmas? When are you going to start your PTR? We'd love to plan along with you!

I am planning on starting after Christmas since I have these two weeks off! I have been too busy with work and getting ready for Christmas...but its only a matter of time!

Hope you have a wonderful holiday!!!

Just a quick update. My brother kept teasing my mom for weeks telling her that we got her something expensive for the house...she so thought she was gettting a big flat screen TV... When she saw the size of the presents we brought in you could tell she was like WHHHHHAAAAATTTTT???? I ended up making a photobook at kodakgallery.com and putting it with a really nice wedding planner I found at B&N. I wrote a really personal note to them and put it on top with a note on it's envelope to read first. It was a complete surprise and they were totally shocked.

Mom and Dad loved their Disney Fairy Tale Vow Renewal package. Mom cried and cried. It was so sweet. Looks like I will get two trips to Disney this year. They haven't decided completely but it looks like fall break in October or Thanksgiving 2010. I hope they pick Thanksgiving because I think seeing WDW decorated for Christmas would be awesome. Looks like I will be upgrading our passes to Annual Passes in May!

I sincerely hope each of you had a fantastic Christmas! Feel free to tell us all about it! My girls loved their zhu zhu's and AG dolls. Josie went ballistic over the Zhu Zhu's and Lindsey jumped up and down over the doll. I wish I would have taken pics. I am so thankful for all my blessings which includes my DIS friends and family!

Oh how exciting!! It sounds like your mom was thrilled even though it wasn't a big flat screen TV!! What AG dolls did your girls get? Ally got Kit! It was an AG/Disney Christmas for my girls!! I'm glad you and your family had a very Merry Christmas, Leanne!!

 

[MaryAz]

Yay for a great Christmas. I was looking at 3/4 days cruises also. Did not really find one that matched our dates.
Glad your mom was surprised!! How sweet. We will also be upgrading our tickets this May. We are going back at Christmas next year! I will also be taking the girls for Avery's bday next spring! All I need to do is sell a house and buy DVC...

 

[racefanof88]

I couldn't wait to hear about how your mom and dad reacted. I am so glad they loved their surprise. I love how it feels when someone is happy. I think knowing the people I love are happy is more important than anything else. As I get older I am becoming more and more mushy...... As I was watching G-Force with Dallas Christmas night I was crying at one part .

ON APS. We love ours. I'm sure you already know this, but if you buy into the DVC before you get your APs, you get a good discount on the AP.

I am seriously thinking about going with the new offer Disney has out. We could upgrade to deluxe and pay less than we payed last year AND get the $750.00 gift card. Since we have until March to book the plan I will still wait a little longer to see if they offer a good AP rate.

I'm glad ya'll had a good Christmas. Now the focus is on Disney.

 

[kcandbella]

What an awesome surprise for your parents! Sounds like it made them happy.

I finally got started!!!

 

[Lifelong_Dreamer]

I'm glad that they loved their surprise.

 

[leamom2princesses]

They were Rosie. It was the most awesome feeling. Can't explain it.

Yep, she thought it was much better than a TV.. I just bought each girl the JLY dolls. Between my MIL and I they have about 6 outfits a piece along with hair care kits, pets, and accessories. It was an AG/Disney/Zhu Zhu Christmas here. I can honestly say though that there isn't a thing that they haven't played with. I don't mind buying if they will enjoy and use the things they wish for. I saw your pictures on Facebook looks like you had a really nice Christmas as well. Love your princess figurines.

I'm glad that they loved their surprise.

Thanks Lessa! I read on FB that you gave your mom a surprise too. How awesome! Isn't it a great feeling to do something super special for your Mom?

Joe is off after the 17th (his b-day) and Lindsey is out of school on the 19th so the Thursday before for a cruise is doable for us. The only problem is that we wouldn't be on property until Sunday evening. I'm not sure that I want to give up park time. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Looks like you have a lot of Disney trips in your future! I suspect if I get AP's there are more trips in my future. It's a 12 hour drive, and with James in Orlando, I COULD go for a 4 day weekend fairly cheap. The AP's would make a long weekend trip so much more appealling.

It was so awesome Dana! I can't even begin to explain the feeling. My Mom gave me the biggest hug I think she's ever given me. I figured I am saving almost $1200 with the deluxe 40% off pin. I'd love one of those giftcards but I'll keep the discount for now. The discount for DVC is like $120/pass. I couldn't believe it when I looked into it. That's a great deal. Now I just need to convince Joe we NEED DVC.

I didn't get mushy watching G-Force but UP was another story. Bawled my eyes out like a baby. How are you feeling these days my friend? BTW, the candy you sent was/is divine. We had friends over and we all reminisced while we pigged out on it. So YUMMY!! Thank you again for the sweet gesture.

Yay for getting started! I've already posted and subbed. Can't wait to plan with you.

I would so love to do DVC. Maybe one day . The discount on the APs with DVC is great. The discount you have is much better, that is what I am hoping for with an AP code. The $750 gift card would be like getting the DDP free for us, it would more than pay for our food.

Oh, watching Up I cried too. I cried in G-Force when the mole was thrown in the trash truck. Dallas said "You cried about him getting killed and he was the bad guy"....... I love the music in G-Force .

I'm glad you enjoyed the candy. Dale loves that stuff too. I can remember us having that candy in a candy dish and having nuts all around it. The candy would be gone and the nuts would still be there .

I am going to the doctor in the morning and I am going to get some kind of answers. They may not be the answers I want, but at least it will be more than I have now . If you read the post on my page you know why I am about to start panicking.
