Ten days until Disney!

Mickey Mail!

We have had so much going on lately that we haven’t really been putting much into getting ready for our trip to Disney World.   I have my “to be packed” list, and I have been working with Apria about getting Hannah’s formula and oxygen being delivered to the Give Kids the World resort, as well as a couple of other things.

Fortunately for my kids, every day for the past two weeks has been an exciting buildup to an amazing trip.   They were adopted by a wonderful group of women called the Disboutiquers who have showered them with amazing gifts!   Handmade matching Minnie and princess dresses and other outfits for the girls, fantastic shirts for all of us, disney pillow cases, travel journals and airplane busy bags, scrapbooks, crayons, and even an amazing Minnie tote bag and keychain for me!   Pixie dust galore!!  This is only just a part of the generous gifts they have received!

Every day the kids come home from school, they yell “Did we get any Mickey mail today?”   Sure enough, there is a box or two (or more) waiting from them from another generous hearted Disney lover!

It has been absolutely wonderful for them.  Not only because they have been spoiled beyond spoiled with the quality and uniqueness of their gifts, but Ethan and Abby now truly feel like this trip is just as much for them as it is for Hannah.    They definitely feel the magical Disney spirit every day.

To be adopted by this group has been a gift on top of an amazing gift!  And that is what I have always wanted for this trip…for Ethan and Abby (and Hannah) to be treated as if they are the most special children in the world and going on an amazing trip that is one-of-a-kind.

Things are definitely coming together for this trip, and I am so dang excited now!   Seeing just 10 more days on the countdown clock is just so exciting because tomorrow it will be single digits!    We meet with our Make-A-Wish granters on the 21st to finalizing everything — yay!
