We managed to keep the secret and pull off a great surprise. Since Thanksgiving ( when we started putting wrapped gifts under the tree) I have been telling the kids they are getting one gift to share.. and that half the packages were boxes with just paper in them..they would get so mad..but alas I wasnt kidding 
So here's the video.. notice Taejan gets mad because he realizes there really is nothing in the box but paper and dads weights .. and Jadziah reads it and realizes what the paper says and gets excited first..and then Declan hates me because I've kept this a secret for 66 days! The rest of the morning consisted of them opening the reservation papers for each of their favorite restaurants and of course we told them we were driving...then Taejan ( my little future pilot) opened up the Southwest reservation and that was a tears of happiness from him! Best Christmas surprise ever!!
