the surprise

background:  SuSu (brandon's mom) told ellis that one day she would take her to disney world.  ellis had only heard of disney world from her friends, and really only knew that the princesses lived there :)  SuSu decided she would take ellis for her 5th birthday, AND she was sweet, awesome, and generous enough to invite me, emily (cake baker) and my mom along for the ride.  oh...and beckett somehow snuck his way in too!!  we only started planning it about 2 months before the trip and knew we wanted it to be a surprise!!  SO MUCH FUN!

@ ellis' birthday party, SuSu told ellis she forgot one gift at her house...but that she would come over in the morning and bring it to her.  ellis told me she was sure it was a really pretty dress :)  i packed everything the night before while they slept and had the kids all ready for "school" by 8:15 a.m.  my mom, SuSu & nish, emily, brandon, patty (emery's nanny), 3 kids, etc...everybody wanted to see the reaction.  SuSu asked ellis what the one thing she wanted for her birthday was...beckett starts screaming "zhu zhu pets"...ellis never guessed...she was in major shock.  i will upload the video when i have free time (ha!)

beckett was thrilled to be on the plane...
i had a minnie mouse shirt for her to wear for the trip there.  she turned it down and opted for crewcuts.  love that girl :)
we have arrived!  we could watch the fireworks above the castle from our place every night (gran floridian...highly recommend)...can you see the castle in the skyline?


5 years old!!!
don't you worry...much more from disney to come.  i have to break it into a few posts...duh :)
