Turner Silent Auction results

We wanted to take the time to thank each and every one of you for the role you played in making the Silent Auction for the Turners a success. Your participation, either through a donation, bidding, or even just spreading the word, has helped us raise over $12,000 for the Turner family. This auction would not have been a success without your contribution.


A few important items to note:

--If you won an item, payment must be received by October 31, 2012. If we do not receive payment by then, the item will go to the 2nd highest bidder. If circumstances have changed and you can no longer honor your bid, please contact us to let us know.
--If you're a donor and have not received an email from us, it is likely because your winner has not paid yet. As soon as the winner pays, we will put you guys in contact via an email from us.
--Should any questions or issues arise that we haven't addressed here, please email us at turnerblogauction@gmail.com.

Several people have asked if they can make a monetary donation directly to Julee. Here is the information if you would like to do so:

Day 10 of clothes and chatter

This was our big day!



Ava took her last link off the Disney chain! We were headed to the happiest place on earth!!!!




Waiting to board the plane so we could "blast off" to Orlando.

We got in around 6pm and then had dinner at the Luau at the Polynesian.



She was so excited and super tired! It was a late night for us. We got back to our room around 10:30 and bathed/pajamas/etc when Ava realized she lost her elephant. No no bueno!! Luckily the front desk had it and the day was saved. Phew!!!
She was finally asleep by 11. Today is magic kingdom day with lots of fun in store!! Can't wait to see it all through Ava's eyes!
