Well... I was hoping to share a video showing the morning that we surprised Lily and Ty with Disney news... BUT... it was 4am and even with a little closet light on it is very hard to see the video and very hard to hear (I was talking very quietly).
SO let me tell you (and I realize this isn't as good as a video) how it all went down....
The week before we left was BUSY...Lily had 2 rehearsals for her tap recital... the kids were finishing school... I was trying to hide the fact that I was packing like a mad woman... the littles were tired from a busy week.
The night before we left Lily had a tap recital which ended around 10pm... the littles didn't get to bed until about 10:45pm (way past their usual 7:30 or 8 bedtime).
Needless to say at 4 am when I tiptoed into Lily's room she was TIRED.
I whispered... Lily.. time to get up... we're going to Disney World.
Her eyelids fluttered and she was trying hard to open her eyes.
I repeated.. Lily we are going to Disney today...
She said in a very tired voice.. TODAY... ARE YOU SURE....
It didn't take her long to realize we really were going to DISNEY.
She left her room to tell Ty.....
She didn't whisper quite like I did with her.... she told him we were going to Disney to celebrate graduating from school.
Ty was a bear... he was TIRED.... he wanted all of us to leave his room... he covered his head.....
We told him the whole family was going...
Lily asked if we could stay 5 nights.....
We told her we were staying 7 nights.... 4 on the boat and 3 at the Polynesian....
She was beyond excited and Ty was beginning to wake up slowly...
She was done trying to wake him and ready to get this trip moving....
Lily was dressed and in the car within minutes and Ty wasn't far behind (although still a little bear-like).
Eating egg mcmuffins at 6am.... we were the first customers that morning at the golden arches...

I love it!! Love those smiles first thing in the morning!
LOVE IT! Can't wait to hear more about your trip! Lily is absolutely beautiful in her tap outfit!
Can't wait for Part 2!
That's a story the Littles will be telling their whole lives (for both trips). What a cool, fun way to reveal a trip and a good way to avoid over-anxious kids for weeks.
Lily looks so adorable and grown up at the same time in her tap outfit!! How's she liking tap?
Oh my...must have been SO exciting...yet they probably thought they were dreaming! lol I can't wait to hear and see more!
And...Miss Lily looks gorgeous in her outfit! She looks like she is getting tall. I remember when she wore just a size 2. :)
Love and blessings,
Robin
