Christmas 2010

We were supposed to go to Disneyland in October 2010, but since we had our car and identity stolen within a 2 week period, we had to postpone the trip. We told the kids we would have to wait till sometime in 2011 to go. They were very disappointed but understood the circumstances. In the meantime, JP and I decided to surprise them before Christmas. They had no idea.

We woke them up early one morning (5am) and told them they had to come with JP to drive me to the airport for a work meeting (I work for JetBlue Airways) cuz only one car was working (not true). We told them to get ready for school cuz once my meeting was done it would almost be time for school to start. Little did they know we had a flight to catch to Long Beach at 7am. So they started getting ready and Mackenzie (pre-teen) starts freaking out because she can't find any of her clean clothes she had washed the day before. (OOPS, I had packed them in her suitcase for her). Then she freaks out MORE cuz she can't find her brush to brush her hair (also in the suitcase). It was PURE drama. Finally we just said...."SURPRISE....it's a surprise trip on an airplane....get ready!!!" They were in shock. Since I've been working for JetBlue, only Mackenzie has gone on a trip with me. So, the twins and Jacob were excited to hear they were actually going on a plane. Once they heard the pilot say Long Beach, they pretty much knew where we were going....It was the PERFECT trip. Get ready for a picture overload!




Waiting for World Of Color...they had fun making FUNNY faces!!












P.S. Kelsey and Kayley also had their 7th birthday the weekend before our Disney Trip, so it kind of turned into a birthday trip too!!! Can't believe my babies are 7 years old. SPOILED!

I'm dying! HOW FUN! Brian wants to surprise our kids next time we go to Disney. I don't know if I could do it! I bet you all had a blast. And even though I'm starting to love Disney World too, there is NOTHING like Disneyland. There is something special about that place I tell you. And I love it! Loved the silly face pics. So cute!
