As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I started brainstorming and Googling creative ways to tell the family. There were a ton of cute ideas out there, but I finally found the perfect one for my family.
I told everybody that we wanted to take a family picture. Nobody thought anything about it... I'm that kind of person who randomly insists on taking group family photos... but they're used to me. So I set the camera to automatically take 10 pictures after the timer. Right before the first photo took, I said, "Everybody say... Brooke's pregnant!" Take a look at the pics below to see everybody's first impressions :)
Here are the pics with Chris' family.
I love how the kids are completely oblivious.
Then we told my brother's family and my grandma.
And... I saved the best for last.... my mom had the best reaction I could ever hope for. By the end of these, we were all cracking up.
In the end, I'm so glad we told everybody in a creative way. Now I can show my little Jelly Bean how excited everyone was to find out about him/ her. :)

Brooke! Homer and I got such a kick out of Diana's expressions!!!! I'm still laughing about it as I type! What a unique way to make the announcement!
