Yard Signs

When my husband and I found out we were pregnant October 1999, we decided to surprise our parents at Christmas. Our main reason for this was to make it through the first trimester. I found signs for the grandparents that said "Nana and Papa's House" and "Grandma and Grandpa's House". Together we made a card for each that said - "Guess who's having a baby?" We met all of them along with close family friends that my parents brought with them at Pizza Hut. Before we ordered we gave the grandparents, uncle, and aunt their presents. The grandparent's presents were wrapped and were address "TO: Grandma and Grandpa; FROM: Your Grandbaby." My parents were so happy and my Dad (Popsey) cried. My husband's parents said "are you serious." Oh well, we had a fun time and enjoyed dinner with our families and friends. The best part, my brother brought the camcorder (he didn't even know he would need it) and got it all on tape for us to keep forever.
