The time has come to tell the girls, and you, the special plans we made for their birthdays this year-- DISNEYLAND! We booked a great package months ago and it's been torture to not reveal this secret every other day! :) We leave very soon and look so forward to experiencing the magic of Disney with the girls at this age!
We had a big exciting reveal planned. The girls were given early birthday presents, wrapped boxes containing mouse ears. After they had opened them and tried them on, we asked if they'd like to wear their ears on our trip to Disneyland. Mostly, this announcement was met with confusion and concern over random things. Ella wondered why there wasn't a dress to go with her Minnie Mouse ears and Delia wanted to be sure we knew that if she went, she was NOT going to ride "that scary ghost ride." But, after the initial puzzlement wore off and the reality set in, we saw (in this order): excitement, giant smiles, jumping, screaming and even some happy tears from Ella. While this little video is not quite the grand "Surprise! We're going to Disneyland!" home movies that you see in the commercials, it still shows a bit of the happiness and surprise.
So, now we're on a short countdown and then off to meet the mouse! Happy birthday, Ella and Delia!
