Birt Baby.... Boy or Girl???

Over the weekend we had a little gender reveal party for Christy and Mitch and the baby on the way.  Jana and I had decided to throw them a reveal party because it was something we had never done before so would be fun to try.

We had all sorts of ideas (mostly from Pinterest) that we put together to make it our own.  We had everyone wear the color of their guess.  It was a pretty split party of pinks and blues.  When they arrived they put their name in the jar of their guess.  Once it was reveled, Christy picked a name out of the correct jar and the winner got a gift that they brought.  Erin ended up winning the prize :)

Since all of our their family couldn't be here we decided to do a "Votes from Afar" thing.  This way we could include those that couldn't be here in person.

  I always like to read all of the wives tales and see how it compares.  Christy though was pretty split on these as well.  We did the key test, palm test, and ring on a string test at the party.  The key and palm both said boy and the ring on a string said girl.    

We had different snack type foods to pick at throughout the afternoon.  It must have been good because we didn't have much left over.

We let Christy decide how she wanted to do the reveal.  There are so many ideas out there now with the cake, silly string, confetti, and the box of balloons.  She decided to go with the box of balloons.  Mitch and her found out the gender on Wednesday at their sonogram, so she was able to get the balloon box taken care of without anyone else finding out.

How cute are these two!

Smiles all around for Grandpa and Grandma Keeley

 These two little ones were excited about the pink!  Reese could not contain her excitement :)  Lawson was probably just loving the balloons.
