Our Surprise Early Christmas Present

As a last minute surprise and present for Christmas, Grandma and Grandpa Smith asked us if we wanted to go to Disneyland with them. Of course!! We never pass up a Disneyland trip...its the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH!! 

We wanted to think of a really cute way to surprise the boys but still wanted them to be excited for Christmas. We aren't leaving until the day after Christmas so I didn't want it to over shadow it. This is what we thought of. We left a present under our tree and the boys found it. We told them that "Santa was being silly and didn't he know that it wasn't Christmas yet? Well, I guess we should open it and see what he brought them?"

We wrapped it up in several different boxes so that they had to keep unwrapping to find out what was inside. They were so excited the whole time wondering what it was.

When they finally got to the real box, they all just started yelling and looking at the different things inside, but still weren't sure what it all ment?

We put in their Disney hats that we bought them last trip, Buzz Lightyear bookbags and Lanyards that the travel agent gave us, and maps of Disneyland. It was Bryan that finally found the maps and figured out what was going on.

 We also made a chain to count down the days until we left.

 Peyton LOVED the hats and just wanted to keep on trying them on.

 Bryan thought we should invite someone to come with us, so he immedialty called up Grandpa and Grandma and asked if they wanted to come since Nana and Papa came last time.

 More hats!

 Peyton wanted to start packing I guess, he ran to his room and brought out his Mickey Mouse and started shoving him inside his bookbag. He hasn't taken it off since!

Four REALLY excited boys, counting down the days until Disneyland!!
