What started out as a Family Fun Night turned into a PARTY. How? Read on and find out!
A family fun night, complete with dinner, a round of golf at the local miniature golf course and then to wrap up the evening we were all going over to Melanie's to pop some fireworks. What could be better than eating, laughing and having fun?
Meeting at Johnny Carino's Restaurant for dinner, we sat down and started talking and catching up on all of the latest news. Emily and I were playing on Amy's I-Phone and coloring her menu. Nathan and Nina's land was a hot topic as we waited for our salads and appetizers to be delivered.
We had just started eating and were just all having a great time when in walks Bonnie! Her boss was a real sweetheart and let her have the evening off.
He deserves a special card for that!
After dinner, the waitress brought out two plates of dessert and I told Kurt, "We should get a piece of cheesecake to share." The words were barely out of my mouth when the waitress brought us one of the plates with an envelope. I looked over and Melanie had the other dessert plate (her favorite) and an envelope too.
While Kurt was getting the plate and forks ready, I took the envelope and said, "what is this?" while opening it.
Melanie and I must have been opening our envelopes at the same time because later Kurt said, " All I heard was some screaming from Melanie and then you screamed, 'I'm going to be a Grandma!!!?!'" After much (loud) excitement, we settled into to more giggling and I swear, the whole restaurant must have known what was going on!!
There was even more chatter and giggling as we asked: How long have you known? How far along are you? How did you keep a secret that long? Then I asked how did you keep from looking and queuing things on Ravelry? hahahahaha She said, if she did then I would know something was up. How funny is that?
She really does know me.
I asked if I could let my sister Penny know and they said YES! Oh how funny it is when something unexpected comes along and the first thing you want to do is tell everyone that hasn't heard it yet!! LOL
After dinner we went to Melanie's house, the golf was a ploy, hehehehehe to distract us, and we popped fireworks. I worked on my garment I am knitting have to finish so I can start making BABY things!
It was the most wonderful Family Fun Night ever!!! I will remember this day forever.
Thank You Nathan and Nina for the wonderful surprise and even more for the little one you are sharing with us all!
Isn't this the cutest Baby Announcement?!?
It even came with pictures showing Nina's tummy from week 5 to week 9.
