yep born april 16th
where in NW indiana is he from?
where are you shopping on black friday? in Merrillville at south lake mall?

I am jumping on the Black Friday bandwagon for a second. Jen and I always joke that we look forward to Black Friday more than Thanksgiving. Luckily, we married two brothers that love to shop. It is a blast!

speaking of Black Friday. i started the day at the Disney Store at the midnight opening. i thought of Candi. I got 5 shirts and a pair of toddler pjs and only spent $26.33. I also kept wishin that i still had my disney discount

I hit single digits today so you hit it yesterday.
wooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooo

it was a great day, will recape a little when i reply to all.

Okay since I've been gone so long I had to go back and re-read the whole thing.

To recap:

You planned on surprising Candi with a Christmas WDW trip
She found out by going on the DIS
You did a video and card anyway

You've taken several trips:
South Haven
Indy
Mini gold/go karting
Camping with a new pop up

You like alcohol--beer and wine.
You are starting Parker young


You were going to stay at Pop, but with some Fuzzy Disney Math, you ended up at Coronado Springs.

You use that Sunshine Rewards to your advantage.

You really want to use that last day at the water parks.

No more Trails End

Candi got a job at the Disney Store.

Parker is still cute.

Okay....hopefully I won't fall behind and I'll be on board for the TR.....

wow great job on the recap jordan, very impressed.
hope you stay around for the TR as well, i will have links to those pages at the beginining of the TR for you.

when me and my boyfriend decide to go i want us to get matching sweatshirts too. cant wait to see you guys as twins

we are not sure if we will do that now, i saw that they were kind of pricey, and we can use that money for other surveniors

Hey Dan!!! Just dropping in to say hello and I hope you guys have an awesome time!!!!!!!

This is a little weekend update.

Thanksgiving was great, we got up had some family time watching TV in our bed with parker, then went out to breakfast at a small mom and pop dinner in town, we started that tradition last year.

went to my aunts for lunch,and after lunch me and my cousins and BIL had a nerf gun war in the the hallways and bedrooms, it was awesome, we had such a great time.

slept in with parker while candi went to work early, then got another 4 GB memory stick for the trip.

My logic was i get about 1300 pictures with 1 4 GB card i already have, and i took about 800 pics last trip, so with parker i think i will double that, and then with the christmas decorations, i will add another couple of hundred pictures, to bring the total to about 2000 pictures, and hey it was only 15 bucks, regularly 40 so it was a good deal.

saturday we did a little shopping, turns out we got the same sale prices as they had at stores around us on friday and did not have to fight people to get them

sunday went to my parents house and burned a DVD of parker video recordings of his first 7 months, then made a chinese dinner with my homemade egg roles for my birthday, moms birthday and parents anniversary celebration all togther.

it was very good and i got another gift card for disney, which brings our total to 480 dollars right now,

i will get over 500 if my last 25 dollar gift card fromsunshine reewards comes in this week.

we got our other big suitcase from my parents, and put all our tolietries on the counter we are taking,this was a first, we have never packed that far in advance for a trip, it is always the night before, but candi says that she wants to have it all done by friday so we are going to do a little each night.

that about sums it up, i will be back onl ater and give an few more updates of the final days of our trip and what we have planned each day.

 

[Bloodhound]

great update Dan...you are such a planner....I packed the morning of departure for my last trip....but then I only had to pack for myself....lol

 

[dancin_princess]

fantastic update. glad u had a good thanksgiving! Did parker have any mashed turkey?

 

[belle8306]

Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving! My DH, BIL and I went to the Disney store at 12:00 a.m. (in Greenwood). It was packed!! We got some really good deals though.

that would have been fun,most stuff opened at 4 around here.

 

[ariel2007]

Oh only 5 days to go... you must be excited

 

[KatGarcia]

I am so jealous, esp. since I caught a mere glimpse of the Christmas stuff in WDW in Nov....but I'm happy for you all the same!

That's exactly the same thing my kids ate when it was their first Thanksgiving, except for DD3 because she was onlt two days old.

Dan - I have a question for Candi if you don't mind. Every year since my DS9 has been born I get the kids (of course now matching) Christmas and Easter outfits at the Disney Store. Well I know I have told you this before but you may not remember but two of the stores close (10-15 minutes away) are closed now from me so I went online to purchase their Christmas outfits and to my surprise - They only have sweaters, no dresses for the girls I was juts curious what they have in the stores. I really don't like the sweater thing because I did that one year (DD was just born, 5 weeks old) for the boys and they shredded in the wash machine after one wash plus the boys get hot. We have a Disney store about an hour away from us so I was thinking if the stores have something else maybe I would trek up there. Sorry for the long post.

 

[Trentmom]

Hey Faunt..think I saw it was your bday, so Happy Belated bday

i will ask her, she said that they have dresses, but not sure about boys, you can always give them a call first
