Sharing our secret

The word is out! We have finally told our families. I actually told people at work and my Bunco group before our families!! No one can believe we kept the secret for so long. It was just too close to Christmas to not wait. Justin also told several customers who always ask him about having kids when he goes to their homes. Thankfully they didn't tell anyone at the office.

At work, we had a holiday unit meeting at a supervisor's house on 12/18 for the people in my section. We usually play a triva game, trying to guess who the trivia is about. When it came to my trivia, "This person is pregnant," I played along and guessed people also. It was fun when someone finally guessed me! One of my sweet co-workers was worried the supervisor in charge was outing someone's secret and kept asking, "Are you allowed to be doing this?!" It was pretty funny.

The Y Family Reveal:
We celebrated Christmas with Justin's family on Sunday 12/21. I hid a gift and after everyone opened gifts (which took forever with so many people), I got out the hidden gift and gave it to Justin's dad to open and told everyone to come see his gift. Here is the great video:



And here is the actual gift Rick was opening (if you click on picture it opens larger in another window):

The L Family Reveal:
We didn't tell Brigette's parents until Christmas morning. We spent the night at their house Christmas Eve, went to Midnight church service, slept in and had a good time. We even made our first batch of Hooiser Goodies-Thanks for the help Melanie, they were perfect!!


Again, we opened all our lovely gifts and held the last present for the very end to have Brigette's parents open together. Here is the classic, "What the heck is this about?" video:




Here is the gift they got:



Hope you all had a Very Merry Christmas too!! More to come! Hope you stay posted for the "developing" fun!

We are so excited to be grandparents again. Both of you will make amazing parents. We look forward to meeting him/her so we can begin the spoiling process. You know, that is what grandparents do best!!

I am SO excited and can't wait to meet the little one this summer! I LOVED the videos (hilarious) and really wish we'd had a video of the work group's reaction (a lot of screaming) We're all super excited! I can't wait to read as things progress!
