The Friday evening that Spring Break started we surprised Leila...big time! We had planned our vacation months in advance and kept it secret! Chris came home that evening and decorated the house with Disney streamers, confetti, plates, napkins, a tablecloth, and cups. I picked Leila up and stalled until I got the okay to bring her home. Chris met us in the garage with pictures of Disneyland that he had printed off the computer. He told her these pictures were our dinner items for the night: Matterhorn milk, World of Color water, Main Street macaroni, Autopia applesauce and Gadget's Go Coaster grapes. Leila then followed a trail of Disney confetti to the kitchen table. She still didn't piece it together that the Disney dinner and decorations meant a trip to the Happiest Place on the Earth! We had to ask her what they all had in common. "Is it a special day for Disneyland? It is Disneyland's birthday?" Nope! We told her we were going to Disneyland the next morning and that she was already all packed! Our sweet girl didn't scream or jump or yell or run around the house...she calmly left the table and ran to hug us. What a fun way to tell her!! We still call it Main Street Macaroni!!
