The plan was to have an extra high chair waiting at our table to represent the new baby. Ava would, of course, sit in a booster seat. Then I was to fake a "diaper change" and instead dress Ava in her "I'm Going to be A Big Sister" t-shirt.
Well.....it seems as though the grandmothers were onto our reason for having them all together for dinner. I could see those two just chit chatting away, even behind their menus! They knew what was up for sure. So it was time to put the plan in action...and fast!
We did the "diaper change" and Ava, who apparently goes with whatever flow is thrown upon her, runs up to my Dad (aka, "Papere"). He picked her up and didn't even notice the shirt. But those grandmothers....they figured it all out! Needless to say, within a matter of seconds, everyone was giggling with excitement about the announcement!
Turns out Ms. Linda (aka, "Maw Maw") was so certain of her theory that she bet Mr. Vernon (aka, "Paw Paw") on the way to the restaurant $1.00 that we would announce the pregnancy!
What a great evening to celebrate!
An unknowing Papere...
MiMi and Maw Maw figure it out!
Happy family...
