We held a gender reveal party for our family the Saturday after we found out we were having a girl. I had decorated the house in pink and blue...my mom was mad about this. She wanted some sort of hint that it was a boy or a girl! Since I love pumpkins the theme was, "He or She, what will our little pumpkin be?". So of course I had to have pumpkin decorations too! Here are some of the decorations:
Also made boy punch and girl punch...but of course I forgot to take pictures of the food. But here are the recipes for both of these punches:
The girl punch was a big hit, I highly recommend it!
We also had pulled pork sandwiches, ribs, hot dogs, potato salad (thanks dad), chips, coleslaw, and cupcakes.
After everyone arrived at the party and all the food was eaten we had my family join us in our backyard. I painted one box blue for boy and one box pink for girl. I stuffed the girl box with streamers, balloons, and other girly decorations. Jeff and I opened the boxes at the same time to reveal the gender of our little one.
I had to zoom in on the picture because I absolutely love my mom, father-in-law, and sister's faces for this! LOVE IT! :)
Our little one is going to be a sweet baby girl!
I also had a gender reveal at school for the 2nd graders. First I had them vote on boy or girl. Here were the results:
As you can see, most of them thought it was a boy! Then on Monday I brought in cupcakes with filling that was pink. The kids got to bite into the cupcakes to find out if the baby is a girl or boy:
All of the girls said, "Ohhh!". One of the boys actually said, "Oh man! I wanted the baby to like Star Wars and guns". I found this quite funny, oh how 2nd grade minds work sometimes! :)
I like that we now know the gender because we can start the decorating process!
