The Reveal
WOW! What a fun weekend with an amazing finale. Jack's new room is incredible and pictures cannot begin to do it justice. The "Reveal" was overwhelming to say the least. I can't tell you how many cameras were flashing when we walked into the house. I didn't even get a chance to properly thank the people who gave up their weekend and gave of their hearts to give Jack a room of a lifetime. The room has a surround sound system that plays the continuous sounds of birds and every so often a thunderstorm plays with the sounds of lightening, thunder and rain (just like the Rain Forest Cafe). There is also a water fountain and lights and the ceiling ... it's beautiful with tree branches, leaves and vines with birds and snakes hanging on the branches. It's just AMAZING! In addition to doing Jack's room, they found time to put up and decorate a 9 foot Noble Fir Christmas tree for our living room. My head is still spinning with the excitement of the evening and I'm sure I'm missing something. But, for now ... here is a montage showing the before room, our weekend activities and the finished room. Enjoy!

That is just fabulous! I know Jack must love it! Did you know they were going to put up a Christmas tree, too? How awesome is that?! This is a great time of year and I hope that it continues to go smoothly for you and your family. You all deserve it and SO much more!!! (I was behind on your blog so I had to catch up from Thanksgiving - this is for all the entries I read).
Much, much love to you,
