I woke up this morning opened up the livingroom blinds and what was sitting in my driveway.....a 2005 Honda Odyssey!!!!!! We have been talking about buying one for a few months now and we had planed on doing it in Jan/Feb. He said he bought it about a week and a half ago and it's been at a friends house. At 6 this morning he ran over to our friends house got it and parked in in the drivway and there was a big red ribbon on it. I can't post pictures otherwise I would post a picture of it.

Who would have thought I would EVER get so excited about a minivan and better yet who would have ever thought my DH would surprise me with one....especially on Christmas morning.

I just had to share the exciting news with you guys!!!!

That is very exciting news, Andi! I'm sure you will really enjoy your new van. A couple years ago I chose a Toyota Sienna over a Honda Odyssey only because we got a better deal on the Sienna. They are both great vans!

Wow, cool!

I drove it around the block in my PJ's when I got it. I assumed the dealership gave him the ribbon....I forgot to ask. I go to the dealership on Monday or Tuesday so they can tell me about the Van and show me how to work everything. The thing I like the best so far is the way the sliding doors open and close with the push of a button on my key chain.
I am officially a Minivan Mom...and I love it! My kids and I are so much safer in this Van.
