Halloween Bean Spilling

Halloween was an absolute blast. We had waited SO long to tell our friends and this was the night we were going to share our big news! Our good friends Scott & Devan were throwing a party that night and we knew all of our nearest and dearest would be there. Our outfits had arrived (Bun in the Oven and The Bun Maker) and I had ironed on the finishing touches to his chef's coat. We were ready to tell everyone! We pulled up to the house and sat in the truck for about 10 minutes gathering our (my) nerves. We finally went in and had the most wonderful night!

Everyone had different reactions to our costumes and they were just hilarious! Devan & Scott were the first we saw when we walked in the door. Devan said "cute costumes!! You wouldn't happen to have a real bun in that oven would you?" (she was completely joking) We both exclaimed "YES!" and they screamed and hugged us both. Nate and Sirikit came a little later while were in the kitchen. They came in and gave us hugs and chatted about the past few weeks and went on as everything were normal. They both looked at our costumes and didn't say a word about them. Ryan and I were squeezing each others hands in anticipation for their realization! Nate finallllllly said "wait a second, what are you two again?" We broke into laughter and they immediately knew what was going on. They were so sweet, Nate kept apologizing for not getting it immediately. It was so funny! Jared, Chris & April came in and immediately knew, Jared pulled me into a big bear hug & congratulated us both. April just barely glanced and me and exclaimed "You are pregnant aren't you??" She knew all along...I just couldn't tell her she was right until now! Dave, Kylie & Aisley weren't going to come but Ryan called and begged them to show for just a minute or two - and they did! They met Ryan and I outside when we went to get the camera from the truck. Dave said "We can't wait till you have a real bun in that oven!" "We DO!" Ryan exclaimed! I said "It's baking!!" Kylie suprise attacked me with the biggest hug and nearly knocked us both to the ground. We were giggling and screaming. Dave was hugging and jumping around - it was awesome! It was such a loving, pure reaction to our news.
The night went great, lots of joy and congratulations & an overwhelming relief to finally share the big news with our second families!
