announcing to distant family

Lily • Mommy to a beautiful baby girl💗

I’m 7w 4d, i wanted to surprise my distant family members before we go visit for thanksgiving and I have come up with no ideas on how to tell them ... I don’t wanna wait until thanksgiving and make it about me and cause a big commotion so I’d figure break the news a couple weeks before and let it settle... Any ideas on how to tell them ??
