Gender Reveal Party

On Saturday, March 2 2013 we had our gender reveal party. After knowing for a WHOLE week before everyone else, it was about to kill me not being able to tell them! We had the party at Matt & Jackie's house & we started decorating early that afternoon. It had snowed several inches earlier in the week- so the boys took the kiddos out to play in the snow with the four-wheeler while we decorated. We sat around for quite a while being entertained by their crazy antics in the snow. Oh, what we have to look forward too with Daniel and this baby!

 My sister, Shelby and aunt Nancy planned most of the party & the theme was moustache's and red lips! So, people were supposed to wear red (for girl) or blue (for boy) depending on what they thought the baby was. When everyone walked in, they also got some fun red lips or a black moustache to put on. Here are just a few of the guesses:

 

 

 

 

    As you can tell, lots of people wanted a boy! But, my dad had 3 girls...so he wasn't putting his money on boy at all! Notice his nice pink Converse. :)

  Once everyone got there, no one wanted to wait any longer to find out what baby G was! Shelby had several old 'wives tales' and she had me tell her which ones I had that favored girl & which ones favored boy...here is how the results turned out:

So, according to the 'wives tales' she had, it said girl. Now time for the big reveal...Daniel and I bought silly string and covered the containers so that you could not tell what color it was. Daniel & I and our parents each got a bottle and sprayed it in front of everyone. Whatever color came out of the silly string, was the sex of the baby. Are you ready?! Here we go....Baby G is a....

 

Can you tell?! The moral of this post is to NOT BUY CHEAP SILLY STRING! We sprayed it & I thought everyone would be really excited and shout the sex of the baby! But, we bought the silly string at the dollar store and it came out WHITE! You can tell on the last picture that my mom (on the far left) is not very happy because she thought we were trying to trick them! She was just ready to know what the baby was! Ha! You can see me (on the far right) trying not to pee my pants (which is a hard task now days) because I was laughing so hard that it didn't work out and everyone was mad & thought it was a joke. What you can't really see in the picture is that the silly string is a light, light BLUE! Baby G is a BOY! I finally had to tell everyone and show them the ultrasound to prove it.

 

We had a great night celebrating the baby! We can't wait for him to get here & cuddle and love this sweet baby. Now, we are trying to figure out a name. Such a hard decision. Big thanks to all the fabulous ladies that helped make this party so much fun---Nancy, Shelby, Mom (Cristie), Halie, Emily & Jackie. We love you all!
