The outfits are AMAZING!! I got a little teary eyed again when I was packing them all up because when I had them laid out, they took up my entire living room! This is such an amazing group and it has really been priceless to see the happiness on Mitchell's face as he was opening each of the packages! He has truly felt special this whole time!

I overheard Mitchell talking to a few friends outside last week and he was telling them he had another package to open that day. They asked what it was for and he said "there are some really nice people sending me things to make my trip extra special! I love them!"

As far as the other goodies...this really has made packing easy! I don't even have to think about what to pack because it's all there and ready to go!

Awn, Mitchell is special so glad he is feeling the love!!

Love all the outfit pictures, but can't wait to see them in action in Disney. Everyone did such a great job!!
It's great that it's making packing easer, packing for 3 kids is tough!
Your getting so close!

 

[Moodyzblu]

Such wonderful Big Gives !! I remember packing the boys clothes from the Big Give with amazement and being so grateful. I didn't have to buy a single outfit for the boys this trip. Plus I got so many awesome compliments .. it was very cool ! I was proud to give credit to the wonderful people on here when they asked where we got the clothes.

Your trip is so close !!

I need to apologize, Jen! We took pictures of the kids in these outfits, but I cannot find them! I will be sure to get lots of pictures of them at Hollywood Studios in the outfits!!

No worries, I'm just glad they got there! Have a fantastic trip.

I have been talking back and forth with a couple people at Disney these past few days and we are arranging a BIG, HUGE surprise for Mitchell!! I don't want to say what it is in case something happens, but I originally asked for one thing and they are taking it even further than I would have ever imagined! It was one of his main wishes that we told him we couldn't make happen, but now it looks like it may actually be possible. Stay tuned for our TR to find out what it is!!! <---see, that's how I make sure you all follow us over to the TR!

I'm freaking out a little inside because it's so close!! We've been waiting so long for this - years actually - and now it's almost here! I feel like I should be planning something, but I think I have everything taken care of already.

oh not fair teasing us............hope whatever it is that the magic happens and Mitchell will enjoy it to the fullest!!!

I feel that way about the last few days before we leave too, spend so much time with the planning and then you have to wait .....

I know, I'm mean! BUT, I'm worried something is going to happen to make it not work out. Or it will happen, but something bad will happen because of it. We have pretty bad luck in our family, so I'm praying really hard that it works out!

6 days!!!!!!

[Delaney21]

Woo Hoo, have a great time!!!

Thank you!!


I was writing all of my Big Give posts in a word document, so I could work on it as I had time and then I could post a bunch at once. I also wanted it so I could keep it all as a keepsake for all of the wonderful things our family has received. When I was copying and pasting from that Word document into here, I had to split up one of my posts into 2 separate posts and when I did that I accidentally skipped one of the Big Gives. I'm so very sorry Kristin! Here is the post I wrote a couple of weeks ago and missed!

I’ve been searching Etsy for the past couple of weeks because we have all of these outfits, but there was just something missing….

Kristin (aka Coloradok) must have read my mind… BOWS!!!

My sweet little girl hates to get her picture taken, but I was able to get a couple:

Ok, maybe only one…this is her “Seriously mom, I hate pictures” pose!

She also sent pacifier clips:

Thank you so much Kristin!! The bows and pacifier clips are perfect!! They are going to look awesome with their new outfits!!

 

[Delaney21]

Only 2 days left!!!!

We had a great weekend! It was perfect because we were able to participate in the Make-A-Wish Walk for Wishes at the Detroit Zoo and Mitchell was a VIP!

To start off the walk, Mitchell got to help cut the ribbon!

Here is our family during the walk -

Mitchell's wish is being sponsored by a local steel company so after the walk he got to meet them. I am totally not a crier AT ALL, but I had to fight back the tears a lot! This whole wish experience has been very overwhelming for me!

We had such a great time and it was planned perfectly - the weekend before our trip to get us in the Wish trip mood!

 

[bskts4bj]

Have a great trip!!!
