It's A.....Gender Reveal Party!

What a great reason for a party, announcing the gender of your baby!  Well, tonight was the big night. We were all so very excited and anxiously anticipating the results.  I got to find out a little early because I was in charge of the cupcakes, but it was my job to keep it a secret until the party. So, no one was allowed near the kitchen while I filled the cute little chocolate cupcakes with BLUE fudge.  Yes, that is right Blue.  It is a boy!!!  I was so excited when I found out, I couldn't help but shed a few tears, tears of joy of course.  Wow, this Grandma thing is going to be so much fun.

Yesterday Latisha came over and we made signs and decorations for the gender reveal party.  Then today she had her ultrasound and found out it is a boy.  So, I quickly filled chocolate cupcakes with blue fudge middle, and topped them with mocha icing, trying very hard to make sure no blue was showing. Then we headed to Brent and Latisha's. It was our family, Brent's family and a few grandparents that were there.  We came in and someone asked if we were having dessert first (the gender was going to be revealed in the cupcakes), but everyone had to wait and enjoy pizza, salad, and fruit first.   Several were being very observant as to wether Latisha or Brent wrote with a blue marker or pink, and which drink they had, blue Koolaid or pink.  There were blue and pink clothes pins.  Everyone was supposed to choose a clothes pin color and wear it as their guess to the gender.  They also had a poster with silly wives tales of figuring out what the gender of the baby was.  It was all fun and the boy was receiving the most votes.  Finally the moment arrived and everyone was given a cupcake. Then on Brent's count down they all bit in to find the blue color on the inside.   The happy parents brought out the ultrasound pictures and everyone enjoyed seeing our new little family member, already beautifully knit together in his mother's womb.  Such a Blessing.

It was a lovely evening.  We are very excited to see this new little life growing and are anticipating the day we get to hold him in our arms.  God is good!  Just wanted to share our story, hope you are all having a blessed day.
