7 Days!


Seven days from yesterday we will have all left to fly to Ft. Lauderdale.  Seven days from today we will all be walking onto the Oasis of the Seas!  I can't wait...I can't wait for us all to be together laughing, joking, just enjoying being together, dressing up for dinner, singing Christmas carols, seeing our dinner table setting for the first time, seeing our cabins, dancing in the promenade, swimming in the ocean, playing in the sand, drawing names for Secret Santa, buying Secret Santa gifts, and on and on and on!
