The countdown begins

Jim and I have been talking for awhile about what our family vacation should be for this year. After tossing around a few ideas, we were having a hard time coming up with something that was easy and fun to do with our kids being the ages they are. So, after much thought and careful planning, we decided on Disney World. We are going to go in April and also celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We thought this would be good timing...after Spring Break but before summer with what looks like will be pleasant temperatures.

We told the boys last night and they were thrilled. Luke's response "Do I get to meet Pluto?" He would want to meet the dog. :-) And Jacob's response "When are we going?" Which is why I made this little countdown chart...to hopefully give them a visual of how much longer. We all know waiting is not much fun, especially when you are 5 and 3. I can't wait to experience this with them and see it through their sweet eyes!
