Our Christmas Surprise Poem, (rough draft)

[schaeferpartyof5]

Twas three nights after Christmas when all through the house
All the luggage was packed up, to go see the mouse.

The girls were all nestled
All snug in their beds
While visions of turkey legs danced in their heads

Then when they set out, long drives they won’t matter
They’re going to see Alice, the cat, and Mad Hatter!

When what will their wondering minds request
But dinner with princesses, with the schefers as guest!

And Dad with his road map, and mom with her totes
They had all they needed, all the tickets and notes!

So out to the car, they all ran with a laugh.
Vacation was starting, we just have to get gas!

They’ll drive, and they’ll drive,
For quite a long time.
Eventually the girls are going to wine.

BUT what to they’re wandering eyes will appear?!
A Castle and Mickey, you know by the ears!

And then you’ll exclaim, as the fireworks start!
This must be why Grandpa gave disney his heart!

Haha I love it, what a great idea

 

[Hummingbird15]

Cute, but change; "Eventually the girls are going to wine." to whine

But after a long drive, maybe mommy and daddy are going to wine.

 

[gabsandalex]

Such a cute idea!

 

[ToodlesRN]

Sounds great, very creative

Thanks all! We did change the wine to whine .
The turkey legs dancing stayed though, as that is my husband and mine favorite disney "meal" at the parks!
It went over GREAT!
