Our Big Announcement to our Families

Last night we went to dinner with my family to one of our favorites, Shoots.

According to my family, we were celebrating Vince finishing taking the boards, and them moving at the end of this week.

But we had it planned that it would be a little more special than that!

We ordered fortune cookies from Etsy that had custom sayings in them.

We had them chocolate dipped so that they would look just like the Shoots fortune cookies.

Everything went so perfect.

They brought out the cookies at the end of dinner and Vince was the first to read his.

Of course his said, "Good things are coming in due time...September 2015 to be exact!"

He just thought it was a pretty specific fortune and wasn't sure what it meant exactly. His birthday is in September so he just was thinking how cool that fortune was.

Then Phill opened his which read, "Baby McDonald, coming September 2015".

So he said, "Bailey?! Do you have something to tell us?"

But Chase and Lucy hadn't even taken a cookie yet, so I just smiled and looked at them and said, "take a cookie!"

Then everyone got super excited and was so thrilled for us.

It truly couldn't have gone better.

We are so blessed with the family that we have.

They all want what is best for us and it's the most amazing feeling.

No one even had a clue that it was coming which was the best part!

These were all the different fortunes that everyone got.

Everyone was so excited to see all the different ones.

To announce to everyone on social media, I had Andy photoshop the last line on this fortune.

In the Video:

Kendrick was way cute and if you listen closely to him in the video he mentions that our happy news was what his wish was and that it "actually came true"! 

(Before he came into the restaurant he made a wish into the fountain outside.)

Thanks for being there everyone to celebrate our exciting news!

For Andy's family, he said that we probably 

didn't need to do anything as big as we did for my family.

So their announcement was much simpler than my families, but still perfect nonetheless!

Most of Andy's family was away at Disneyland for the week, 

so I took this picture of the gift we gave to Andy's parents and said, 

"Thought you'd all like to see the present we gave Kelly for his retirement!"

We got tons of texts back from everyone, they were all so thrilled. 

We are truly so blessed with the families we have!

Couldn't ask for better brothers, sister-in-laws and brother in-laws!
