I saved the best Christmas gift for last…
Tomorrow we leave for Disneyworld. I will be out of the office until January 20th. This past year, we learned a lot of things. My mom being diagnosed with bladder cancer was a very powerful reminder that life is too short to put off having fun and enjoying each other as a family. Sooooo….my entire family decided to go to Disneyworld this year as our present to each other. It’s been in the works since Easter(a very long time to keep a secret) and it was a complete surprise to the kids who have worked themselves into a bit of a nonsleeping frenzy(Georgia was up until 11pm last night). Speaking of FUN–HOW ABOUT A CONTEST WHILE I AM GONE????? Guess how many images I take over the 11 day holiday. The person who guesses closest will receive a gift from me!! A box of my favorite things(just call me Oprah). To guess, just leave a comment with your total(I’ll include iphone images in my total–I plan on redoing Alicia’s challenge with my iPhone while I am gone). And, finally…a little fun in an empty box 
* just a note about my mom’s bladder cancer…she is doing great and all of her treatments should be finished by the end of the summer. Thank you all for your love, support, comments and emails during this time. We both appreciate it more than you will ever know.
So awesome! I really hope you have a fantastic time.
My guess: 634
