It was the day of the official baby reveal.
Martinus dressed the twins while I got my shirt idea ready. I decided to use safety pins and pin the new babies shirt to mine, where the baby bump was.
The twins had their matching shirts and Martinus put his shirt on that had the same words as me. We decided to put on sweaters so that the reveal could be at the perfect moment and we would unzip them to show the rest of the family. #FamilyGoals AmIRight?!
Anyway.. Martinus got the barbecue ready and was preparing the steaks.
We heard a knock at the door and Emma ran over to open it, but we had a child lock, so I helped her out. It was Marcus!
"Hello Emma!" He knelt down to Emma's height and gave her a hug then lifted her off the ground. He brought his girlfriend, Isabel and she waved to Emma.
"You probably don't remember me."
Emma was talking, but it was that age where she miss pronounced some words and sometimes we didn't know what the heck she was saying, yet she was so adorable and sweet!
"I don't remember you, but I'll hug you too!" She leaned over to Isabel and Marcus let Emma go to hug her.
Eli came from around the corner and jumped into Marcus' arms while screaming "UNCLE MACKY!!"
They took so long to take their shoes off that other relatives piled in the doorway.
Soon the birthday grampapa came to the door and the twins exploded with excitement. Eli almost unzipped his sweater, but I found a way to distract him. Emma grabbed his hand and lead him to see the cake that she and I baked together. "I did the icing grampapa!" She said hoping he'd like it.
He picked her up and exclaimed, "Its so beautiful Emma! Very well done!" Even though sprinkles exploded all over the messy icing. She was happy though and that's all that mattered. The steaks were ready and Martinus brought them in so we could serve ourselves. We sat everyone down and Marcus said a toast, "My papa may be old, but he's gotten me through everything and I'm glad to say happy birthday dad!" He grabbed his glass and we clanked ours to everyone near us. Suddenly Martinus got up and decided it was a good time to give him the baby box. "Before you open it, I'd like Eli, Emma and Y/N to stand up please."
We did as told and.....
