We decided to give each of our parents shirts that said, "Grandpa to be" and "Grandma to be". And to be wearing shirts that said, "Mommy to be" and "Daddy to be". We also gave them an adorable poem saying that the baby is due in March.
The Peterson Family
"After Dereks softball game, we went over to Derek's parent's house and luckily we were able to get each family member there. We claimed that it was a gift from our previous trip to California. Craig opened the gift first and said, "ALLLRIGHT!" Everyone then looked into the box and pulled out the shirts. Craig read the poem, and Carolyn teared up with a big smile on her face. Jared looked completely shocked and just kept saying, "What?? Are you serious??" And he kept joking that he isn't going on a mission anymore. Tyler didn't seem he completely understand what was going on. We kept telling him that he was going to be an uncle. Carolyn came and hugged us and said she wasn't really ready to be a grandma yet. Kyle came up right after and said, "But I am ready to be an uncle!" We all put our shirts on and took a picture. Carolyn kept hugging me and saying she loved me. It was so neat!"
The Alvey Family
"We decided to have this gift be for my dad's birthday and gave it to him a day early because we honestly couldn't wait any longer. When we got there, we got everyone to come into the family room. We were so lucky because we actually did get all my family in the room. We all sang 'happy birthday' to my dad and then gave him the gift. He kept taking his time with the gift and it was making both me and Derek so nervous! As he finally got to the gift, he lifted the paper and made a way surprised face! He asked, "Does this have a message in it?!?" We just smiled and laughed. My mom kept asking, "What? What's in it?" So my dad stood up and walked the bag over so that she could see it. She said, "Are you serious?!? Are you serious?!?" Kaity, Taylor, Dylan, and Sammy looked in the bag and all screamed! They all ran over and gave us huge hugs! My mom was so happy that she kept screaming, laughing, and hugging me! Dad read the cute poem out loud and we all started to cry! My mom just ran up to me to hug me again! We took pictures in our new shirts and then we decided that we were going to tell the rest of the family on Sunday, by coming out in our shirts, because they were all coming for cake and ice cream."
