The Big Surprise...

On Christmas morning after Santa, there was another big surprise on its way. Daddy walked in with this box wrapped in Mickey Mouse wrapping paper.

They were very surprised at the size of the box.

Imagine their surprise when 7 balloons floated out:

Attached to the strings were cards with 1 word on each balloons. They had to put it together to read "We're going to Disney World in 34 days."

Next they found wrapped gifts in the bottom of the big box, 1 for everybody. When we all opened them they contained matching shirts that said "Dodd Disney Days 2010". When I asked the kids why Nana and Pop might have shirts too, Ashton was very excited to figure out that they were going with us!

I'm so glad to have a daughter who squeals and shows all the excitement I was dreaming of (as opposed to my oldest who follows in his father's relief pitcher footsteps and doesn't show his excitement!).

We will be proudly sporting our matching shirts THIS Saturday!!!

The great part of this surprise was the week before Christmas Ashton started saying I wish we could go to Disney World in January and even called Nana and asked if she take her to Disney in January! It was so cool to be able to grant her wish!

An amazing Christmas surprise that has kept me so busy preparing that I'm just now getting around to blogging about it 20 hours before we leave- yay!!!!!
