- She's almost here, we worked super hard.
- We're so excited!
- [Guest] She's coming, she's coming.
- [Guests] Surprise!
- Who came up with the diaper cake?
- Someone who got tired of making real cakes,
and getting icing everywhere.
- [Joe] : Our big group of friends has probably been
together for about ten years.
- [Krystina] : We all met in 2009, through marching band.
Marching band definitely brings you closer together
because we have really early mornings,
late nights, there's bonding through misery
of being in band together, I guess.
- [Joe] : Today, we are all together to
surprise our friend Krissy with a baby shower.
- [Jessica] : Krissy is just a ball full of spunk.
- [Joe] : Full of joy, and laughter.
- [Joanne] : She's everybody's friend,
just always puts a smile on your face.
- [Krystina] : After everyone graduated, we just
kinda dispersed and started growing our families.
So we are quite far in distance now.
Everybody from band, that we were friends with,
has come back to Houston, to come and surprise Krissy.
- [Deborah] : I'm so proud of these kids, I knew
them when they were just teenagers.
They were like 18 and 19 years old.
And now they have families, and babies,
and I think it's great.
- [Krystina] : Krissy thinks she's stopping by
to pick up a gift from my mom,
but in reality, we're all gonna be here to surprise her.
- She is probably the most deserving person
I know for something like this, so I'm very
excited that we get to provide this for her.
- [Krystina] : All of us are going grocery shopping,
all fourteen of us, like old times,
getting some of Krissy's favorite snacks.
- [Joe] : We really put the menu together,
with Krissy kinda at the front of our minds.
We gotta get a ton of cheese. - She loves cheese.
- [Joe] : Krissy loves cheese. - Krissy loves cheese!
- [Krystina] : Goat cheese, blue cheese,
she loves cheese.
- : This is so much cheese!
- Back in college, we did go to the store a lot together.
She's gonna need diapers, because we all know
who the party pooper is.
It's just so different now, since we all
have our own lives, and new little babies everywhere.
- [Krystina] : We got a lot happening, so I think we gotta
get started.
- I hate when these things pop.
- Oh my god, me too. It's gonna make such a loud noise.
You gotta like,
bang it on the edge, yeah. - Ooh, pop.
- The last time that we were all together
like this, unfortunately, was for our
friend Steven's funeral.
- [Joe] : He was the person who cared about
what was going on in everyone's life.
Most of the time, more than he cared about himself.
- It's funny, the last time we were all together
was to put somebody to rest,
and now we're all coming together
to celebrate life.
- [Krystina] : Steven taught us what true friendship is,
and he was an example of that,
and so I think that's how we honor him today,
as by remaining friends, remaining close,
and laughing all the time.
That's how Steven lives on,
is through our laughter.
- Yes!
- It is almost time.
- Here we go.
- Do you want it to go in the middle?
- Last dish, everyone get in. Let's hurry up.
Krissy's almost here, you're running
out of time.
And we're so excit- oh!
Look at him, he's waving!
Oh, I love it!
- She's here.
She's here, she's here, she's here.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
- [Deborah] : Oh hey, come on in!
- [Everyone] : Surprise!
- [Krissy] : Oh my god, stop.
Oh, my god. This is beautiful.
- We got Joe's mac-and-cheese,
some sliders, because we know you like
the meatball subs, camp out, never forget.
- Oh my god.
You're too much.
Oh girl,
Feta dip.
[Krissy shrieks]
- Yes!
Oh my gosh, y'all are amazing.
This is so, this is too much.
They got me, because I had no idea
that this was going to be here.
I feel wonderful, and I feel very loved.
- Oh don't cry, kid.
- [Krissy] : It wasn't a given that we
were all gonna be around anymore,
and then when, you know, we start moving,
or when someone of our friends, you know,
leaves us,
it's not guaranteed.
Thank you.
- [Krystina] : I'm so excited to see you.
- [Krissy] : Oh my goodness.
It's good to be together, but for a
happy reason too.
- Get in the middle!
- [Deborah] : They have a very tight bond,
I think that's the best thing, is that they're
actually there for each other, all of them.
- [Krissy] : I have the greatest friends in the world.
