Christmas Eve announcement

Christmas Even 2009 was a very special day for our family, not just because it was Christmas Eve, but today was the day we announced that we are having baby Egan #3! We told our boys first, of course, and Evan's reaction was priceless!!! I wish we had it on video! First of all, Evan has been asking for a baby in our family for months and months! Knowing that we were planning on having a baby some time this year, I bought some "Big Brother" shirts for the announcement. I told the boys we had an early present for them and I told them there was a baby in my tummy. Drew didn't quite get it, but Evan's face lit right up and he said "There is?! There's a baby in your tummy?!" He then started squeal and jump around followed by running up to me and giving me the biggest, sweetest hug! He was so excited!

Late afternoon we headed to my mom's house for our Christmas Eve party. We planned arrive a little bit late so everyone else would be there and that way when the boys took off their jackets everyone would see their "Big Brother" shirts. Shayla noticed first and yelled "Shut up! No way!" Then everyone else started catching on! I don't have to tell you how excited everyone was...they all were! It was fun to talk about the due date and hear everyone's speculation that it would be a girl this time for sure! ;) What a fun day a the best Christmas gift ever!
