Christmas with the Boucher Family!

This morning Chris and I flew out to New Hampshire to celebrate Christmas with my parents and sister. We started the morning by having breakfast with all of them and then going back to the house to exchange gifts. The day could not have been more perfect...the flight was easy, weather great and everyone was happy and relaxed. One of the first gifts my parents received from us was a computer that we had sent to the house a few weeks prior. During this trip, we brought another surprise and got to enjoy their excitement as they opened their new flat screen monitor. Watching, you would have thought you were watching two small children on Christmas morning. I am so blessed to have been able to make them so happy with this gift.







No longer being able to contain our excitement we proceeded to tell my parents our great news. I began by giving my father a gift with a red card attached. The card had a picture of two red roses and the saying "Roses are Red...". I then gave my mother a gift with a blue card attached. The card had a picture of two blue violets and the saying "Violets are Blue...". We waited a few "rounds" of gift giving and then gave my father a framed picture of the two of us with another card. The card had a picture of two intertwined hearts and the saying "We're Finally Pregnant!". Here's a video of the reaction...



Once the chaos subsided a bit, we hit them again. This time we gave a photo album with sonograms to Grandma with our last card attached. This time there were two babies pictured with the saying "...And Expecting Two!". Here's the video...

I am almost peeing myself laughing so hard!!!!!! Your mothers reaction is priceless! I am so glad you got it on film. I have just watched it about 15 times, with my laughter increasing each time. I am trying not to wake my kids with my giddiness! And your father is adorable! I love the inaudible jumble of words when he read the words "Were finally pregnant!" You have definately given the best Christmas gifts this year!
