Telling our families at Christmas was wonderful! Great timing huh!? We felt so blessed by God to be able to share our news to both families in person over this sacred & joyous holiday. The Callahan's were thrilled! We decided to tell them through presents- Steph's mom, Pam, opened a gift with the book titled, 'Always Have Popcicles- A guide for grandparents'. It took mom a second but when she looked at my giant smile, she started screaming with joy! We gave my dad, Red,  a bag of M&Ms with the words 'baby Boehmer' & 'I'm Pregant' printed on them.  It is their first grandchild and the moment was full of excitement. Aunt Toni was pretty stoked. Her Christmas wish came true. When we left for Pennsylvania, Nick & I decided we would anounce our great news on Christmas day. Well... that didn't happen! We just couldn't wait. We poured some of our printed M&Ms into a candy dish and just waited. Not long after, Kathy (Nick's mom) came downstairs with a HUGE grin on her face and congratulations. In typical Bill fashion (Nick's dad), he waited in silence for his perfect moment to express his happiness. There were hugs all around! Later on when Steph (Nick's sis) came over, she began to cry happy tears when she found out. (she had eaten several M&Ms before she realized what they said!). We were thrilled to know that our news was not the only fantastic news in the family. Cristen (cousin) & James found out they were expecting a few weeks earlier and celebrating our miricles together at Christmas could not have been more special!
