SURPRISE!!!

So, many of you know that as a family we decided to go to Disneyland and Legoland this year for our birthdays in lieu of presents and parties (mom and dad included).

But the catch was the kids did not know when we were going. . .

We had them convinced it was October.

Last Wednesday we left for school as usual (only we were not carpooling, the boys we carpool with were "going to school early"). So we all left (mom, dad, Addison and even J.D.) to drop Peyton off and then "go run some errands" (take J. D. to some friends and go to the airport).

We took Peyton up to the park behind school so that Joe could walk him down to his class since he didn't have Nathan and Camden.

And then. . .

As you can see Addison was very accepting and just excited to go!

Peyton took a lot more convincing. Really? Really?

Yes Peyton really!!

When he got up that morning he was missing his mini pillow pet (which he loves) and couldn't figure out where he went (he was in his backpack for the airplane).

So when he looked into the backpack and saw that "Frankie"-the pillow pet dog was there he was on board with the whole thing. LOL!
