First, I did my best to keep up with blogging through Christmas, but it didn't work. LOL! Between activities and Keira's last round of chemo, I just couple keep up. But I will try to post some pictures or scrapbook pages of Skippy for anyone looking for ideas.
Second, back in August Keira was referred for a Wish from the Make a Wish foundation. We've been working through the process and we got the word yesterday that our trip dates had been confirmed.
We will be spending 7 days & 6 nights at Give Kids the World in Orlando. Keira's wish was to go to Disney World and meet the princesses, and that's just what we're doing. If you're wondering what Give Kids the World is, visit their site, it looks like a pretty amazing place. Non profit, for families like ours that have a had child facing a life threatening disorder. (FYI, it doesn't not have to be terminal, which was always my belief)
We'll be visiting Disney World (all 4 parks), as well as Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and Sea World. Sean & I are pretty excited about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at IOA, but the kids won't care, they're too young.
And I had to make a countdown calendar for the kids to keep track of how many days until our trip.
This was super simple, craft wood, scrapbook paper, ribbon, little chalk board tag, and a sticker letters & the Disney Vacation Sticker, oh and Modge Podge.
I actually was going to do it hybrid, because digital scrapbooking is my strong point, but my printer isn't working at the moment. It's not perfect, but it serves its purpose.
Yay!! I'm so excited for Keira - it will be so lovely for her to have something FUN to look forward to & she so deserves it!! (And so do you all!) xx
