Thanks, Jen! I love that quilt, too! Chelsea went off to spend the night with her cousin last night and I noticed the quilt left the house with her.
We are officially single digit dancing this morning!!!
OH WOW!!!! What an amazing quilt
I just love it!
I am so glad to hear that her vacation was so fun! Even more so, I am excited to hear that you are SO close to leaving
Chelsea is so lucky to have such a special birthday surprise!!
I love the quilt, too! I wish Ms. Joan and Chelsea would make one for me, too! LOL!
Just nine more days! I can't wait!
Chelsea is too cute! I saw those pics on FB and LOL. I've seen her grow and mature over the last two years!!
Yay for online check in. I couldn't wait to do it either. Next week at this time we will be at Epcot! Yay!
Thanks! Chelsea has grown up so much over the last couple of years! It's amazing! Yeay for leaving soon for you! I can't wait to hear all about your trip!
Looks like Chelsea had a great trip and I LOVE those boots! Too cute!
Great reveal!!!
The clock is slowly ticking and it's almost time for you to go.........YAY for online check-in!
She did have a great time! I wish I could borrow Chelsea's boots -- they are so cute! The clock has been ticking very quickly for us lately! It's strange that the summer went by so leisurely, but the last week has flown by! I am starting to feel a little panicky about all the stuff I still need to do!
ME TOO!!
I love the look with Chelsea's boots and shorts. Wish I had legs that could pull that off!
Me too! LOL!
I think it's rather cute that she had the pre-flight drama! Just goes to show that 13 isn't all that grown up after all!
So true!!!
What a fun trip she had! Love the quilt. I'm glad she's excited for the trip!
We are all pretty excited! I have a Connor story to share about that very thing in the next update!
The others are right - you have great kids! Be proud - you did have a lot to do with it you know!
Ah, thank you!
You have done an awesome job with your girls, too!
Let us know how online check in goes. Are you or did you make any room requests? I'm hesitant to do online check-in because if I don't get a room with my requests, it will be harder to ask someone if there's another room available. I didn't ask for much, just a full balcony at BC. I was informed that if you are in the online check in line, you don't get the opportunity to ask about the room and switching. I'm hoping that it won't be too busy when I check in on a Wednesday afternoon. I actually like interacting with the CM (usually) and the kids can explore the BC lobby. We shall see...
I have done online check-in for the past two trips and had a great experience with it both times. The rooms have been ready both times, and it was super fast. We didn't make any requests, though, so I don't know how that would work.
TEN DAYS!!!
How exciting!!!
ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL I can say is that when I saw that picture of Chelsea in her boots, the first thing that came into my head was:
"....these BOOTS are made for WALKIN' and that's what I'm gonna DO. And one of these days these BOOTS are gonna WALK all OVER YOU."
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND now that you ALL have that song stuck in your head I will beat a hasty retreat!
I have been singing that song for the past two days! I have always loved it!
CP, her new room looks so neat! Love the colors! I used to travel to my grandparents alone on a plane too, I don't remember being scared. But it just goes to show for how much they grow, how much they are still our "babies"!!!!
Actually, that is her old room colors -- she won't get all her new bedding and paint colors until we are back. Well, MIL is doing all of it while we are gone. I love the way her room looks now, but I guess she is ready for a change.
The quilt matches her new color scheme.
Chelsea is hilarious!! Her adoration of Bo really makes me smile. And the fact that she put her card on her bookshelf? That means you did good mom!
She has loved Bo longer than any of her other "crushes." LOL!
Online check in was fun for me. It feels good being able to "do something" before the trip when the only other thing you can do is wait.
Exactly!
Great reveal! I love the story about the airport! Sounds like Chelsea had a blast in Texas. Love the boots too!
Chelsea just lost all sense of her "cool" self when it was time to say good-bye. LOL! She did have a great time being a Texan for a week. It was funny when we were driving home because she kept commenting on how different Georgia looked with all the green, trees, and hills than Texas (which in the Dallas area is very flat).
So did you do online check-in today?
Not yet. Doing it this morning.
I was wondering the same thing!!!
Getting ready to do it in a few minutes!
I'm ready to single digit dance...can I start now please?!?!?!?
Chelsea's reaction to the flight at least she wasn't freaked out by the turbulence.
)
I'm glad to hear Chelsea had a good time on her trip. Love the cowboy boots and the quilt is beautiful! Sounds like the reveal went really well!
I'll never understand them. My dad will sit on a boat ALL DAY LONG, baking in the sun, eating beannie weenies straight from the can, watching a cork bob up and down endlessly in the murky water, and he thinks that is pure bliss! But the thought of swimming in a crystal clear pool, eating at fabulous restaurants, watching Broadway quality shows, and riding super magical rides sounds like absolute torture! How do they rationalize things in their heads? It really is beyond me!
