Aziza told me when I got off work that they had so much fun with all their new things and that the Big Give is better then Christmas!
I wonder if that means I will get out of it this December?

I couldn't believe it when I got home from work to see 4 packages of Mickey mail had arrived!!! Talk about hyper kids ready to open their packages! I told them one before they went swimming, one after and save two for tomorrow (Sunday). Well....they begged enough I let them do 2 packages after their swim.
The pre-swim package came from Deborah (dbarker) (With a lot of help from Charlie and David too! Thank you)!!
I have decided I learned a lot about you Deborah from your gift. You thought of EVERYTHING!! If I had to pick one person to be stranded on a desert island with it would be you! You are a packing Pro!! I am speaking of not forgetting anything useful. Aziza would say it was b/c you were able to get all those item into that one box! lol. She made mention many times how impressed she was with that. They were opening your present for a long time b/c every time they reached in the box there was a new surprise under the packing peanuts.

I have SOO many pictures, but I will have to cut several of them opening the package out so that I can show all the stuff you included in there.

Toy story figures!! Cool. Reed loves them!

Aziza loves the Minnie mouse organizer set!

Matching shirts for Dad and Reed, Pacifier keeper and bib too! Wonderful!!

It looks so good on him!

Roy loves having a matching shirt with Reed

So nice you even put their names on them!

This one was taken later after the swim, but I want to include it so you can see he loves his new bib and is using it already! It fits great and with plenty of room to grow too!!! Thank you so much for making a bib for him too!!

Unique holders for our small things on the dresser/night stand (change, jewelry ect.) Now maybe we will not have to look for so many ear rings on the floor since there will be a tray to put them in! So awesome they fold flat for packing in the luggage too.

I have to show off your gift in groups b/c it was so big! Presents for the kids here.

More gifts for the kids (and a super cute swim suit cover up for me)!!

And my cruise survival kit!! Everything I will need and didn't have yet!!

Me showing off my cover up.

And the best part of all...Aziza got a matching one and she got to wear it right away!!! We certainly picked the right pre-swim package to open!! The sequins around the middle are super cute!

Thank you very much for this very useful box of supplies and gifts! Many of the things you included I had on a running list in my mind of things I needed to find eventually before we cruised (like a pop up hamper, water proof camera, more sunscreen and magnetic dry erase board for the door). You saved me several shopping trip looking for those items. Then you thought of things I had not yet (lip balm with sunscreen in it, clothes pens for handing our swim suites to dry, hand sanitizer, night lights, flash light, power strip, ect). I am all prepared now from a packing PRO! Thank you Deborah!!!

 

[dbarker]

We are so blessed to be able to help out. DH and DS13 helped a lot (especially the shopping at the Disney stores). I was worried about how the shirts would fit your guys. I am so glad that they fit.

 

[H2OMama]

OK, back from the swim...They are excited to open Mickey mail from Leslie (Disney 52303) (And extra special helpers: Cary and Chase, thank you both)!

Donald and Daisy sailor shirts! Aziza and Daddy look so cute in theirs!!

I wanted to show mine off too!

We love the Disney luggage handle covers you made for each of us! Our luggage looks just like everyone elses...not anymore!!
The Donald and Daisy duck shirts with sailor hats for the whole family are soooo cute!!! I bet Donald Duck will give us some special attention when he sees us in those shirts! I can't wait to get a family photo with him now!! Thank you Leslie for making those for our whole family!!

Thank you Charlie and David!! Sorry I left their names off, I went back and added them. I know it is late b/c I had to go back and fix a few things on the two posts so far and I am worried I will leave off or mess up something on the third too b/c my brain is fried tonight. lol
I also remembered I left off one of my favorites of Reed.

After he admired the picture on his new sippy cup he immediately put it in his mouth. I gotta find that picture too. I love it, but some how just realized I didn't upload it. I am really not with it tonight. I will have to post that one later.

 

[H2OMama]

The third package was from Glenda (gcast1)
Howdy Texas neighbor So cool your best friend lives right by us!!

Aziza wanted in the picture with the pretty packages.

Reed got two super cool reversible hats!

He wanted Aziza's purse too!

He REALLY loves her purse!

He kept saying "my purse, my purse"

Showing off one of his hats

Now he has on the other hat and is snacking on smarties from Deborah. He really wore this purse around for a good while before he would let his sister have it. lol

Disney dollars for both of them! Those dollars are so cute!! (my photo really doesn't pick up the colors in them).

Reed really liked getting Disney dollars. He told us at least 20 times "I got two dollars". So cute!! I guess you can see he can't count.

Still admiring his Disney dolars!

Finally Aziza got her purse back. She loves her purse and her Disney dollars!! Love all the pockets you added inside and outside the purse!

Alright, that was a big busy day! Reed is getting sleepy and put on his new hat and climbed under his blanket from Ruth and was ready to watch some movies before bed.

Thank you Glenda, Aziza loves her gifts and Reed loves both their gifts. I hope he doesn't steal her purse everyday.
That is a really nice purse and all those pockets are great for storing electronic games and gear in! That blue color is Aziza's favorite too!.
The Disney dollars were a huge hit and such an original idea. Thank you for getting them those and making Reed those two reversible hats and Aziza the beautiful purse!

Just popping by to say how much I love everything you are getting and how happy the kids look (and you and Roy too!). Let's see, does this get you out of Christmas gifts -- nope -- instead it means you have to buy lots extra for Xmas this year because the kids need to get at least as many Xmas gifts as BG gifts

 

[ellenbenny]

WOW, I really love all the gifts! I am really impressed by the matching Mickey shirts, I sew mostly for children, and sewing for adults always scares me because it is so much more difficult to get the sizing right, but it looks like those shirts fit great! And there was a LOT of stuff in that package. It is so much fun to see the kids opening and enjoying their gifts!

 

[dianemom2]

What great Mickey mail! I love the matching swim cover ups and the matching father/son shirts. Everything is so wonderful!

I know the bar is being raised.

 

[mommy2mrb]

all the matching shirts and cover-ups! and all the great goodies for the cruise too! cool idea for the little holders for the dresser and luggage handle covers!!


one more thing that is great for the bathroom door is a plastic shoe organizer, you can store tons of stuff in it and keep the counters cleared of the clutter!

Thanks for posting so many adorable pictures! I'm so glad that Reed and Miss Aziza liked their stuff. Their precious smiles just made my day!

When I went to put things into Aziza's room this morning I found the purse you made her out on her bed and when I opened it up I could see she had packed some paper dolls and their clothing into the various outside pockets. The inside pockets she had packed her La La Loopsy dolls into. So cute!!

 

[H2OMama]

They opened their last gift first thing this morning, I am just now getting time to upload the photos to show you.

This package is from Diane (DianeMom2)

A BEAUTIFUL skirt for Aziza!

I guess I should explain Reed has been riding his scooter around right before we did Mickey mail and he likes his helmet.

Reed really liked the flamingo outfits!

Reed showing off his new outfit.

Aziza's turn to show off. They both danced and twirled around the living room for a while, but the pictures couldn't capture it well enough to post, but they were sure having fun.

We are booked on the Ardastra Garden and city tour for our excursion in the Bahamas. Ardastra Garden has famous marching flamingo's. Reed loves flamingos and always wants to visit them during a trip to the zoo, so we thought he would really enjoy marching flamingos! They are going to look SO cute when we go and they get to wear their new outfits!!

They went to the park to play and Reed really enjoyed waiting for Aziza to come down the big slide.

Thank you so much Diane for the super cute outfits for their Bahama's excursion!! The clothes fit great and look so adorable!! We LOVE them!!

 

[billwendy]

They both look Great!!! I hope you are able to snap a picture of them with the flamingo's!!!!!!

 

[H2OMama]

They both look Great!!! I hope you are able to snap a picture of them with the flamingo's!!!!!!

I am definitely aiming to get a picture of them with the flamingos!!

 

[H2OMama]

I have to share this one as promised.

Oh, and before I forget THANK YOU for the Pez candy refills and smarties! Reed has almost polished off a whole package of refills and it has only been about 24 hours! :0 He loves Pez so much! (He is eating up smarties at an alarming rate also, but thankfully there are so many in that HUGE bag it will be quit a while before he eats them all up...I hope). Aziza is giving him a little help, but mostly it is him!! lol.
