When Burke and I were trying to get pregnant I wanted to tell Burke's family in a fun way. It was right before Christmas and I can NEVER wait to give or receive presents, Burke and I have still never opened our presents to each other on Christmas day. I wanted to give them a picture frame as a gift and have Linda open it early so we could see her reaction. Kristen and I ran all over the place looking for a cute picture frame that said grandchild or something about grandparents that I could give Linda. I found some pretty ugly frames but that was the best anyone had. I talked to Amy and she told me to go to Hallmark and to print the picture of the positive pregnancy tests to put in the picture frame. I ran to Hallmark and found the best picture frame! It was silver and said "Great moms get promoted to Grandma." I printed the picture of the positive pregnancy tests and put it in the frame.
Burke and I went to their house for dinner and before we are I told Linda I got her a present I couldn't wait to give her. Everyone told me to wait until Christmas but I told them I couldn't and it is to start a new tradition. Linda and I had been trying to come up with new tradition we could do for Christmas as a family so what better thing to start then having a baby with us!
Linda opened the present and read the quote on the frame and was confused for a minute then she got so excited and we told everyone we were pregnant. Linda, Doug, Kayli, and Grandma Pat was there and Kelsi and Cody came over right after and we got to tell them too. Everyone is really excited! As soon as Linda found out her first response was that we needed to go shopping. This little baby is going to be spoiled!
