Hey, you're going to be an uncle!

After telling our parents, our next step was to tell our brothers.  And how do you tell your brothers that they are going to be uncles?  Well, bake them a cookie cake, of course!  And it was a super good cookie cake too.

I used this recipe from the blog Life, Love, and Sugar.  It was super good.  I made a double batch so I could make two cakes and also used her buttercream frosting recipe.  Amazing!

We told my brother at 11 weeks before we announced on Facebook.  I gave him the cookie cake along with the pregnancy announcement.  He was very excited and so was his girlfriend, Lauren.  He is hoping for a boy though.

We hoped to tell Chris, Andrew's younger brother, that weekend too.  However, he was at a wedding and then couldn't make it out to Geneva on Sunday, so he had to settle for a text message picture of his cake later Sunday night.  I wonder if he actually got to eat it?

Andrew called his older brother, Ben, to share the news since he lives in New York.  We also sent them the announcement from the pups, as well.

But the cookie cake?  Best decision, it was delicious.
