Telling our families...

Our original plan was to tell everyone on Easter, but 1) we just couldn't keep the secret anymore and 2) Easter plans are up in the air and we were afraid we were going to miss the opportunity to tell everyone. So, we told my family in NC last weekend and Greg's family last night at dinner. I am so glad we chose to tell when we did because that way we got to see everyone's reaction in person and not on Skype or hear it over the phone! A few weeks ago I ordered these personalized scratch-off cards and tucked them in an Easter egg filled with candy. We told everyone that since we weren't getting to see them on Easter, we got them an early gift. We LOVED being able to finally share our exciting news with our families!!

The filled eggs...

The cards after they were scratched off...

And of course...here are two videos of us telling our families (sorry for the shaky camera skills, try not to get motion sick)





However, don't let the surprised faces fool you... the Joneses and the grandparents had some surprises for us too! Cindy and Thomas gave us a onesie for the baby and the Joneses gave us cute rattles and teethers...so, apparently we are super transparent and terrible liars =) Thanks for the sweet gifts!!
