Telling Peggy and Rick

We drove from Muskegon, MI to Danville, IL on the 28th for Christmas at Peggy's house.   It took way less time than it took to get to Muskegon because we had great weather!   We arrived in enough time to get cute before all of Adam's Uncles and Aunts showed up.   Adam's mom Peg, Rick, Grandma Blue, Kelly, Aadam, Uncle Kerry, Aunt Vicki, Uncle Ron, Aunt Nancy, Ashlyn, Nassim, Tyler, Brittany and Madeline were all there.   We were waiting until after presents again to tell Peggy.  We had dinner first, and then exchanged presents.   It was nice this time to have Kelly know the secret to keep too.   It made it a little easier to be patient.   Then, Adam's Uncle Kerry had a game to play.   He gave all of the "kids" a stash of money, and he auctioned off the overstock from his company.  The goal of the game was to get the biggest value of stuff while spending the least amount of money.  We had to give the money back by the end of the game, so it was worth your while to spend it all.   It was really hard to be patient during the game, and after about an hour everyone decided to take a break.   At this point, Adam said, "Hold on, we have one more present."  And he ran back to the bedroom to grab Peggy's present.   He gave it to her, and she was totally confused about why we were giving her an empty picture frame.   Adam and I said, "read it out loud."  Then she figured out that it was engraved.   She read it and it took a minute to sink in.  Then she said, "Are you telling me that you're pregnant?"   Then we said yes, and she got very excited and everyone in the room got it.   Rick was grinning from ear to ear.   It was very cool.   We told Peggy that she would have a picture to put in her frame on Tuesday, because we will be having our first ultrasound.
