We told my parents and sister at TG dinner today. I stole an idea I saw on here awhile ago (I don't remember who it was to give them credit for it!). I printed off and framed a recent picture of us from Las Vegas, On the back, I wrote a little note that flipped open. The front said: tickets to Vegas, $640; dinner at Eiffel Tower Restaurant, $150, picture frame, $12.99; printing picture at home, $0.05. It flipped open and said "realizing there are actually 3 people in this picture: PRICELESS!!"
We had my parents open it at the same time right before we ate. My mom got it right away and said "Really? Oh shiit!!!!" and then started crying, made me start crying, and came up and hugged us, and told DH "Well done" which I thought was hilarious! My dad was fairly quiet, but was excited as well. My sister didn't see the present until after my parents did, but figured it out from the reactions. Everyone is sooo excited!!!
Re: Told my parents!
I have that idea saved too when I saw the blog about it. I know that you are excited the news is out.
We told them the original plan was to tell at Christmas, and nobody thinks I could have kept the secret that long!!!
Aha! Thanks for giving credit where credit is due!!!
Sounds like it went great!
