we gave the girls a book ("you're all my favorites") for the both of them and e read the insert aloud....it read "looking forward to reading this with my two sisters in novemeber!  happy birthday adelyn!  love, your little brother or sister".....

no one quite seemed to get it for a minute, not even elena....she read it again.....and adrienne got it first!

then the grandmas!!!

too bad my mom wasn't surprised at all!! haha!  no one else had gotten at this point....

and it was super loud from nana nad grandma screaming....

everyone kinda caught on and we had e read it very loudly one last time!

we explained to the girls that momma had a baby in her belly - they were going to be big sisters!  ad was shocked!  ha.

we celebrated and such.  i think we managed to shock everyone once again.  oh my how i get such a kick out of that!  ;)  i explained it was water and lemonade in my cup and i was only 6 weeks along, so we asked to keep it among family for now. miss ad had one more gift to open...
