We booked tickets last May and I had been struggling to keep the exciting trip a secret. The kids opened their gifts all at the same time and found the plane ticket in the bottom of the box under the swimsuits, flipflops and leis. It took a few moments for them to "get it." One of them (I can't remember which) yelled, "We're going to HAWAII?!!!" Then another piped in with, "This is the best Christmas ever!" Poor Cydnee was the only one that couldn't grasp the concept that we had to wait until March to go. She was ready to pack her bags and hop on an airplane that day to go see Havyn. We are counting down the days now!
