Our Christmas


When we Santa was contemplating on gift ideas for the girls, we decided we were so sick of the "stuff".  Last year we felt like we went to Toys R Us and just grabbed stuff for the girls knowing we needed to get them more "stuff", and there's only a toy or 2 they still play with.  Having 3 girls compounds the problem even more - there's no variance in toys, because they're all girly - Barbies, dolls, doll accessories....yuck!  So we decided we wanted to do something - make some memories!  We found out Brooklynn has a long Presidents' Day weekend, so why not head to Florida and visit Steve's grandma and throw in a few days at Disney?  

I absolutely love the commercial where the dad tells the kids they day they leave, but I knew that wasn't an option since it was a Christmas gift.  We didn't go into it with a lot of expectations, because we knew they're pretty young and still don't understand the magnitude of Disney World.  So even after opening all Disney - shirts, dresses, and scrapbooks, they still had no idea.  So we set-up a scavenger hunt with clues involving Disney themes to find out their gift.  They loved the hunt and were pretty excited to find out they were headed to Mickey's home.  (See video below).

Now the waiting game (the toughest part).  We are all so excited to get there already!

Here's the girls finding their last clue on our Mickey decoration.  I know it's somewhat long and a little uneventful, but only it sunk in they really were excited!  Disney, here we come!
