Gender Reveal Party!

Since we had our gender sono appointment scheduled for a good month before, I couldn't resist the urge to plan a super fun party to share the news with family and our Community Group. We bought blue and pink paper products, party favors and all of the food in prep. All we had to wait on was the news on Tuesday afternoon to fill our cupcakes for Wednesday night. It was SO much fun to share the news with everyone at once. Those that weren't able to make it, were quickly informed via text with a pic of the inside of the cupcake. :)

Enjoy the pics!

Table, set and ready for our guests


Cupcakes that held the BIG news. Everyone was asking for dessert first. :)


So, after some yummy hamburgers grilled by Josh, we passed out the cupcakes and let everyone dig into them on the count of 3. Check out my Dad, trying to get to the center of the cupcake first. :)


YEA! It's a BOY! Check out everyone's expressions here. Great pic capturing the moment. Love it!


Strawberry cupcake, with a BLUE jellybean inside. :)


We had asked all of the guest to come wearing their team of choice. Blue for Boy and Pink for Girl. Here's the BLUE team!
From left to right (Kim, Allie, Hannah, Matt, Dad, Ryan & Andi)


Here's 2 more on the BLUE team. My sis Dani and her hubby George. They joined us via Skype! :)


Here's the PINK team!-Kate and Baby Brynn


And here are the grandmas. Both of them came dressed in BOTH colors. They said they couldn't choose. Of course! And no they didn't plan it. :)


After the announcement! Yea! It's a BOY!


Andi, Camryn and Allie. Such sweet girls!


And finally, the party favors. :)
