Christmas Surprise

Ignoring our original plan to keep the secret until 12 weeks, we decided to tell our parents and siblings on Christmas. I wanted it to be special so I did some googling to find ideas. This is what I came up with:




So that we didn't "ruin" Christmas (i.e. make everyone not care about the rest of their gifts), we waited until everyone was done opening and then gave out the cards.  I just made three-- for Barbi, Mom and Annie.

We opened gifts at the in-laws on Christmas Eve so Barbi got hers first.


After Michaela finally finished opening her 1000 gifts on Christmas morning, I gave Mom and Annie thier cards.


I'm so glad we did it this way. Their reactions were priceless. Baby Schwartz will be happy to know that his grandmas and aunt Annie are so excited for his arrival.
