Merry Christmas And Best Wishes For A Happy New Year!
------
I just had to post about my Christmas morning SURPRISE!! Boy, did my husband deliver. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
So, this is how it all began, a series of gifts numbered in sequential order. I opened the 1st envelope to find this....
Hmm, a card with the word Paris at the bottom. When I opened the card there was a paragraph written in French. I had no clue what it all meant, but I was very much intrigued.
The next gift was this...
Ok, so now I have a book to translate the paragraph in the card. I opened the inside of the book to find this message.
The next gift was this...
The inside of the book said this...
Hmm, what's going on here...is he sending me to cooking school? ;)
And then I got this calendar! So many little clues, yet I had no idea where he was going with all of this. Then this....
MAPS and then this...
DRUM ROLL, please....
Tickets to PARIS FRANCE...
s c r e a m i n g with excitement and SHOCK!!!!
I just can't believe he did this for me. For the first time in my life, I was speechless. I have never been out of the country, but have always wanted to go to France, now my dream is going to come true.

Thank you Scott for such a sweet, thoughtful, heart-felt gift...I will never forget it!

P.S. Rudolph caught on the Camera's View Finder.
Last Year the View Finder caught Santa in action, this year it was good ol' Rudolph.

The girl's are enjoying playing with their dolls. Ha!

The girl's lined the dolls up and pretended they were singing Christmas carols.
Aww, to be a kid again! ;)

That is a fabulous gift and I love the way he delivered it too! I have actually been to France way back before I had kids. I used to be a travel agent and was able to take a fam trip there with my coworkers. It will be so wonderful and romantic for you to be able to go with your husband. I am so excited for you because I know you are going to love it!
What a fabulous gift, and your husband did a great job putting it all together. Merry Christmas! xo

What a wonderful surprise!!! :))))
This is wonderful! Your husband is as creative as you are! I love the way he presented your gift. I too can not wait to see pictures. You will so enjoy Paris. I will relive it through your visit. It was in the 70's when I went and never forget the place. Have fun Liz!
Congratulations on your trip, how fun and romantic.My question is where do you find doll clothes for your girls dolls? I was shocked when I went looking for doll clothes for my nieces this year. Once I found some(and they were quite gaudy) they were fairly expensive.
Liz- Can you believe it? Are you still pinching yourself to make sure you aren't dreaming? That would be the trip of a lifetime for me, too...my brother in law goes all the time for business-so I live vicariously~
What a sweet hubby you have. I love that you are going to be able to do this- xo Diana
