Telling Our Parents

Last night we got together with both sets of parents for dinner.  My parents were in town to drop my grandma off at a respite care facility for a week, so we arranged to have pizza over at Jeff's parents' house.  It was a great time!

I just love how they all get along so well.  Getting the two families together is always so easy.

So after dinner, we got all of the parents to sit on the couch together.  Since my parents' anniversary is next weekend, we planned to give them a special gift.  We wanted them all to be able to see what was inside.  I assumed my usual position behind the camera.

At first, my mom said, "It's all used tissue paper." But she kept going.  Near the bottom of the box was an infant sized diaper.  She looked at it, looked at Pat, looked at me, then back at the diaper.  I had to help her out and say, "We're pregnant."  She squealed and then cried.  The photo is priceless.  The dads were kind of slow to catch on.  I love the expressions.

Pat even got Jeff and I a cake to celebrate being married for 6 months.  When I saw it (before we did the big reveal) I was convinced someone had told her about our news.  Then she reminded me about our half-anniversary.  We took a photo with the cake and the diaper.  What a night!
