yes we were very surprised and touched! our own mini "big give"!!! such great friends we have here on the DIS!!

when I saw it I knew it was coming home with us



so after uploading what I thought were all our photos last night...337 of them...started thinking I took a lot more....found out that since I had so many, they went into three different groups on my computer...so after figuring it out, uploaded the rest....a grand total of 1,396 photos have been ordered and in the process of uploading to photobucket too !! whew, this take a LONG time to get done!

[petals]

oh yay you started. Sorry bout delayed plane. Delay's going are worse because you just want to get there asap... Luvin all the pixie dust!

 

[p00h4me]

I'm Gail and you are welcome! Hope Megan enjoyed everything I had sent to celebrate her birthday. I couldn't add my disboard name because I ordered everything over the phone and wanted to make sure it got to the Pop resort OK. Wendy e-mailed me and told me that you got everything when you arrived. I also called the resort when I got a confirmation that the package was delivered to Pop Century to make sure that the package had your reservation number and that knew when you were arriving.

That's a lot of pictures to upload to photobucket! Can't wait to read more about your trip!

Thank you Gail, I couldn't for the life of me place your DISname! Megan loves her minnies....she actually been collecting them since she was two and having the special bday one along with the hat was such fun for her!
I'm amazed photobucket didn't crash on me

ah thanks! the food was pretty tasty! always love getting our nails done, esp after the winter time! It was such a wonderful surprise for us, Wendy was quite the sneaky lady!

 

[billwendy]

I love your Goofy Man picture...what a special picture!

 

[LOVEMY3KIDDOS]

Hi Lisa!!! Sorry about your delay, but it was all worth the wait in the end, I'm sure!!

Amazing gifts! Awesome friends! You barely had to bring any clothes with you!

Can't wait for more! And....love that picture! I have wanted to get one of those for a while...maybe next trip?

 

[smileycrissy]

What a sweet way to honor Jim with that drawing.

Wow, no kidding you did receive a lot of goodies.

1300 pics, wow! I can't wait to see them all.

 

[fulseasmama]

I am so happy to see you have started your TR. Sorry about your plane delay but at least you had breakfast in the lounge from the cool pancake machine.

I love your toes...her in the NW we rarely get our toes done this time of year huh? I was so excited to get mine done in February and can't wait for Chelsea to get a bit older so she can come with me and actually sit still.

Glad you stopped for the night and got some sleep. It is a long trip to get to Orlando and you needed the rest.


All the pixie dust was amazing and so well deserved. The pictures of you all will be great in all those great shirts.

Can't wait to read more!

 

[mommy2mrb]

I love your Goofy Man picture...what a special picture!

yes it is! hope to get it framed next week!

well the delay was worth it! I tried really hard to stay calm so Megan wouldn't freak out about it!
the gifts and friends are amazing....well I had packed everything for the trip since I had no idea about the surprise....so 80% of our disney shirts I packed weren't worn since we wanted to wear our new ones!

the drawing is in the gift shop after the Animator's drawing lesson, they have all sorts of characters to choose from!

What a sweet way to honor Jim with that drawing.

Wow, no kidding you did receive a lot of goodies.

1300 pics, wow! I can't wait to see them all.

yes we did! it was a bit overwhelming to have them all at once! hence no photos of Megan opening them up...sorry about that!

I probably deleted about 1/4 of my photos too that were dups or blurry...probably won't have another day up until next week, so stay tuned...

yah, we don't do pedi's in the winter, boots cover them up anyways it was nice to get them all pretty and shiny for the trip, Megan loves getting his nails done, so I treat her every couple of months...it will be a fun girly thing to do with Chelsea in the future!

the driving wasn't going to happen, between being up at 330, the LONG wait at the airport, crying baby on the plane, time change, I was beat!

picked up my 1,396 photos this afternoon....its 14 packages looking at it this way is a bit daunting! and my photopass CD is on its way, so will have more photos to print from that too!

finally finished putting away our stuff, house is back to normal....off to do some cleaning for our weekend guest...Megan's 4th grade teacher from CA, who became our auntie last year after Jim died, she is such a wonderful lady, her DH will stay for a bit and then go to see his parents, so we get Auntie K all to ourselves for the weekend!
will try to get our beach days posted on Sunday pm or Monday!
