Guess where we are going???

It's a little early to get too excited, but since we told the twins, it's been discussed almost everyday! We told the twins that we will be spending their 5th birthday at DISNEY WORLD!!! :)

Someone was asking me how exactly you "get over" all that the twins had been through when they arrived 13 weeks early. My answer? Well, you celebrate by taking them to DISNEY for their 5th birthday!!! I can remember when I was pregnant with them and lying there in the hospital for 7 weeks on bedrest, saying to Jason. "If these little girls come out of this o.k. they are SO getting a trip to Disney World when they turn 5!" I think at that point, and for many days after that, I had promised those 2 everything you can possibly think of just to get them to breathe on their own, or take a bottle, or make it through surgery o.k. Thank GOODNESS they can't remember that I promised them a pony if they could just make it through their NICU stay, ha ha!!

So, off to Disney we will go in January, to spend their actual birthday in the Magic Kingdom! We have persuaded Emme and Papa to drive down and meet us (can you imagine taking 5 kids under 5 without help?) The kids are all very excited, as are the adults. While we have been on plenty of trips to South Carolina to the beach, this is our first family trip, on a plane, and staying in a hotel (or a 3 bedroom villa as the case may be, hard to find a standard hotel room to fit 7 people!!!)

We just couldn't pass up the opportunity to see the faces of the kids at this age, when they still think the princesses are real, and it really is "Mickey Mouse's house!" It's just an age that we will never get back again, so matter how much trouble it may be for us, they all really deserve it!!! We can't wait!!!
