Gender Revealing Party!

We decided to have a gender revealing party.  We invited over some friends, grandma was here, made a lot of hype about it with the kids and were so excited!  The suspense was killing us!  I had the ultrasound on Monday and explained to the technician what the plan would be.  She found out the gender of the baby, called the bakery (I prearranged this with the bakery) and the cupcakes were made!  The plan was to eat the cupcakes together and I would be surprised as well.  It went off without a hitch!

 We ordered 14 cupcakes from a little bakery nearby.  I was disappointed that they put their "signature" toppers on the cupcakes because I was thinking it would be a boy!  I had so many reasons to think it would be a boy and I had so many reasons to think it would be a girl.  

BOY:  I thought I saw the boy part in the ultrasound.  The cake topper was blue.  The ultrasound tech WAS SURE of the gender ... made me think it was a boy.

GIRL:  My OB led me to believe she didn't see a boy part.  Grace wanted a girl so badly.  I have mostly girls anyways!

 Grandma helped set the table and we were ready for dinner.  We had SO MANY phone calls during dinner because everyone knew that we were doing this after dinner for dessert.  It was really funny because the chicken took an HOUR to be grilled so we had to wait.  I had butterflies in my stomach.  Grace was so giddy.

 After dinner, the cupcakes were served.  The kids were so excited.

That will take you to the video of the SHOCK!

 What a fun surprise!  A BABY GIRL!

 Sam was precious.  He didn't know he could eat the cupcake and kept saying, is it time, is it time?  Then he started crying and said he was mad at the doctor and baker for making the cupcake pink.

 Grace, Kristin and Rita.

 Nate is doing great... in case you were wondering!

More golfing with Sam is in his future!
