Reactions to our Christmas Surprise!!!!!

Kelley and I found out that we are pregnant again in the middle of December, but kept the secret until we celebrated Christmas with our families...we could not think of a better Christmas gift than another Neal Thomas, right!?!?!? Plus, we needed some time to get used to the idea as well!! We told Kelley's family first, because we celebrated with them first--but we were so excited that we forgot to take picutres...terrible!! Needless to say, they were super excited, but you just have to imagine thier faces!!

We also called Uncle Tommy and Aunt Katrina first thing Christmas morning, and let them hear the news before any other Tuscaloosa family...they kept the secret because they had to talk to grandparents and Mom and Dad after we told them...but they kept it for us!!!

Each of our moms opened a little stocking with a note popping out of the top...here is MiMi's Stocking, and her reaction...




MiMi was talking to Neal Thomas in this picture, but after all of her squealing...he had NOTHING to do with her for a little while!!! What a fun surprise!!! Pop's response was, "I am really excited, but Neal Thomas won't be the center of the universe anymore..." Priceless!!



Memaw and Grandy got in on the surprise, too...

SHOCK!!!
JOY!!!

Now, it is time to surprise Uncle B and Aunt Carly!!! Mom had them open her stocking...Carly was a little scared! She did not know what Mom had up her sleeve...but they figured it out quick enough!!




Aunt Dianne, Nicki, and Kelli came for lunch so they got the advanced notice as well! Mom had a great time showing off her stocking!!!



I wish I had pictures of everyone's reactions, but the camera was not handy when Maw and Paw came by...you just have to take my word that everyone was super excited and we had a blast sharing this wonderful news!!!
