The TRIP of all Trips... Ana's MAW PTR... *TR STARTED* Link- Post #1901 Pg. 127

I loved all the pics of Ana opening up her gifts. That I spy bag is so cool. The dress is amazing. She does look like a princess. BTW...I love the outfit she was wearing.

The I Spy bag is genius! What a wonderful idea! And you guys can always change the stuff in there too - how fun! It reminds me of when Henry was little on long car rides I used to pack a gallon sized Ziploc full of random little toys and let him dig through it pulling each one out. He didn't have great motor skills at the time, just enough that each toy would take him a few minutes to pull out - it was such a lifesaver sometimes in the car! I'm so stealing that I Spy idea!

The dress is adorable! Love the matching headband too!!!! Your house truly is turning into Pixie Dust Central and I highly enjoy reading all about it!

 

[Aimros]

Yay for the big give! I love reading Big Give stories and so glad Juliana gets the chance to be a part of it! She looks so adorable opening all those gifts. I wish I was as creative as the "Big Givers"... I'd love to do something but couldn't pull it off nearly as nice!

 

[smileycrissy]

Hi there! I'm just joining in on your thread. Wowzers, do you have a lot of followers! I don't know how you can keep track of who's writing what.

Your daughter is an adorable trooper (which I am sure you hear all the time).

As for the Big Give people, not that I am speaking on the behalf of them (I'm a newbie to their group) but as amazing as you think they are, you families in which they select are even more amazing. Each story just touches your heart and you just can't help but want to do something. Yay for the Big Give!

I look forward to seeing more pics of your princess & her surprises.

OMG that dress is amazingly cute! I wish I could make stuff. I have zero talents and no creativity. I used to be able to do gymnastics but once I turned 17 I couldn't do them anymore Well I can do counted cross stitch, as long as there is a pattern to follow. But I don't think that counts.

She loved the dress!

Awwww... I'm sure you have some kind of talent.

Cross stitch? What's a cross stitch?

So glad she liked all her stuff! That just makes this trip so much more exciting for her.

P.S. Glad your Yankees are doing well, after the Rays get eliminated by Texas I will no longer be able to root for the Yankees however.

She did love both her gifts!

Well thanks for your 1 series of rooting for the Yankees. That is a lot coming from a Boston fan.

I cannot tell a lie I did not sew it but I did choose the fabric and design does that count?

Of course it counts! Thank you so much. Juliana really loved the dress!

I loved all the pics of Ana opening up her gifts. That I spy bag is so cool. The dress is amazing. She does look like a princess. BTW...I love the outfit she was wearing.

Thanks! We loved the gifts too!

I still need to find out where Juliana got her outfit from.

The I Spy bag is genius! What a wonderful idea! And you guys can always change the stuff in there too - how fun! It reminds me of when Henry was little on long car rides I used to pack a gallon sized Ziploc full of random little toys and let him dig through it pulling each one out.

She has played with it for 2 days... now we need to hide it for our plane ride.

Good idea with the 'bag 'o toys' for Henry.

The dress is adorable! Love the matching headband too!!!! Your house truly is turning into Pixie Dust Central and I highly enjoy reading all about it!

I hope the trip is as exciting as it's been at our house over the last few weeks!

We are privileged that Juliana was chosen for the Big Give.

It was fun watching her open her gifts for us too! We had no idea what was going to be in those boxes.

Check out billwendy 's post... She has some info if you wanted to be part of the Big Give.

Hi there! I'm just joining in on your thread. Wowzers, do you have a lot of followers! I don't know how you can keep track of who's writing what.

I guess it is a DISkill (that would read 'a DIS skill'... it sounded good but a little disturbing in type. )

A lot of these posters are 'old friends' and there are some newbies here too. Keeping track of everyone does keep me busy.

Your daughter is an adorable trooper (which I am sure you hear all the time).

Thank you. Every little milestone is a step towards the final goal of being considered cured!

As for the Big Give people, not that I am speaking on the behalf of them (I'm a newbie to their group) but as amazing as you think they are, you families in which they select are even more amazing. Each story just touches your heart and you just can't help but want to do something. Yay for the Big Give!

Were you a DISer before you found the Big Give or are you on the DIS because of the Big Give? (this sounds like the chicken or the egg discussion!!)

I agree.... YAY for the BIG GIVE!!!!!!!

I look forward to seeing more pics of your princess & her surprises.

You got it!

So many fun things coming to your house! Hurray for the Big Give-I have done Pixie Dust for them in the past. Ana looks so excited for all her stuff. All the ADR stuff Can't wait to see more!

We can't wait to see what else is in store for her either!

The pixie dust part is something we might look into too as we are not creative.

 

[that's nice]

YAY!!! your first gifts!!! Isnt it an amazing feeling? im so happy Juliana liked them!!!! She looked ADORABLE looking through her eye spy bag and in her dress/headband too!!!! This is just the beginning!!!!

Thank you so much for choosing our family. I know this is just the beginning but we are amazed so far.

Anyone is welcome to join the Big Give!!! you dont have to sew or anything!!

Please, join us if you are interested..just click on the button in my siggie! We'd love to have all of you!!

Thank you for putting this info on here. There are so many great people that I've met here on the DIS and I'm sure 1 or 2 of them just might be contacting you. It is nice to know even if someone isn't crafty they can still help out.

The pictures and that dress are too cute!

Aww.. thanks! She was just being her normal 'HAM' self!

What beautiful gifts for Julianna !!! I somehow think more will come !!!! I am getting VERY excited !!We leave in 6 days !!!!!

Wow Rosie 6 days!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!! I hope you have a wonderful time in Disney.

Hey Tim,

I saw this over on that Dec. cancellation thread (yes, I'm at the comedy stage now!) and there's a CRT for 12/6 being cancelled!! Hurry up and call!


12/6 CRT 8:20 pm

Thanks for letting me know... We have to leave MK after the fireworks since we cannot stay for EMHs since we are not staying at a Disney resort.

Plus by the time I saw this I'm sure it would of already been snatched up!

 

[KatMark]

Good morning, Tim (although I guess it is afternoon by you). Did Mel return the wig and get something else for Ana?

 

[KatMark]

I just came in from getting the mail and we got a letter in the mail from Princess Juliana (that's nice's daughter). We had sent her a little bag of goodies from our trip last month and this is what she sent to us:

This next one is Mark's favorite because Dory and Nemo are on it:

And last, but not least:

Ana, I am proudly wearing the bands on my wrist. Thank you so much.

 

[praisehisname]

I love the dress and i-spy bag Juliana received! I didn't realize you would start getting stuff now, I thought it would all come as one big package. This is nice, it stretches out the excitement!

 

[tinacaplan]

What a beautiful, sweet thank you!

 

[PennyLane1084]

Hi Tim, I'm in on this PTR. Better late than never right? Juliana is adorable. Yay for the Big Give. It just makes my heart burst with joy every time I see these kids opening their gifts. Their expressions are priceless.

 

[mommy2mrb]

A very cute Thank You note! and to share her SillyBanz, what a little sweetie!

 

[that's nice]

WHEW.... made it though a long weekend. 3 Weddings and a party. I was passed out early on the couch last night.

Good morning, Tim (although I guess it is afternoon by you). Did Mel return the wig and get something else for Ana?

Oh yea the wig has been returned and Melody bought her a red Snow White headband from the Disney store. It looks like we will have ourself the first blond snow white.

I just came in from getting the mail and we got a letter in the mail from Princess Juliana (that's nice's daughter). We had sent her a little bag of goodies from our trip last month and this is what she sent to us:

Ana, I am proudly wearing the bands on my wrist. Thank you so much.

Glad you got the card... She had fun making it and picking out the silly bands for you and Mark.

I love the dress and i-spy bag Juliana received! I didn't realize you would start getting stuff now, I thought it would all come as one big package. This is nice, it stretches out the excitement!

I didn't know we were going to get something this early. Our info was just given to the Big Give group. You should of seen the paperwork I had to fill out.... I think I had less paperwork for our mortgage!

Thank you for joining!

Juliana had a great time opening her gifts and was super excited! We can't wait to see what else is in store for us.

A very cute Thank You note! and to share her SillyBanz, what a little sweetie!

Juliana wanted to send Kathy one of her toys at first. I suggested something a little smaller.

Hey Tim, been a while since I posted … but enjoyed catching up with you and your family ... seeing the big smiles on Princess Ana's face opening her gifts, in her beautiful Minnie dress ... just makes my day! Loved the I Spy bag and Kathy and Mark’s t-shirt. Never heard of the BigGive before reading about it here, but what a wonderful organization!!

And, just have to add because I know you kind of like the Yankees , but we are going to Game 1 of the ALCS!! Yeah!!
