MeEt ThE PaRenTs!

Telling our parents was a lot of fun! We wanted to do something creative when we told all our parents and grandparents, but the news spreads fast and we didn't want people to find out through the grapevine.

We bought my Mom a bag that said "when a child is born, so is a grandma" it is real cute with little baby photo holes. Derek called her and asked her to come up to the jewelry store for something and we told her there.

We called his Mom and Dad in Texas and told them we made something really special last time we were down there and it would be here is 9 months. His Mom wondered why it would take so long, "because the mail is so slow?" It wasn't until she repeated it out loud enough times that Howard finally said, "Suzanne, she is pregnant!!"

I bought my Dad a coffee mug that says "Grandpa" and I was going to tell him, Julie and the boys by having dad drink out of the mug. But like I said the word was spreading fast so I just called him and casually asked him if he would like to be called "Papa" or "Grandpa" he was surprised.

My Grandma and Grandpa Tindol called it before I could even get the words out!

Mom, Gary, CJ, Chelsea, Charly, Grandma & Grandpa Currier all went out to dinner that night. I made up menus with the special for the evening in pink and blue. The server handed out the mock menus with the specials such as "Baby Toes, Baby Noes" and letting them know that all items on the list take 9 months to prepare! My family is not the quickest so it took them a minute, but when they got it they were very excited.
