Gender Reveal Party!

We had our Gender Reveal Party today after church, and it was fun! My parents, Justin's Parents, Sheldon, Dustin (who planned it for us), Sarah and Becky and Gary were all in attendance. We had some food and then played a few games. They were all impatient and kept telling us to go ahead and tell them already! Ha! At one point Gary said, "So the faster we play these games the faster we can find out right?". Here are the games we played (in case anyone wants some ideas for later):

• The Jelly Bean Game: We put pink & blue jelly beans in a glass jar, but more of the right gender. Everyone had to guess which one there were more of. 
• Mom and Dad's Answers: We came up with some questions and had everyone guess what my answer would be and what Justin's answer would be (ex. What color hair do we want? What do we want their first word to be? etc) This one was a lot of fun I think.
• Letter Game: We filled to bags with magnetic letters. The people who thought it was a girl were on one team and the boy guessers on another team. They had to one at a time go and draw a letter out of the bag. They were trying to see who could spell our boy name or girl name first (boy team spelled Griffin and girls spelled Adalay). Team Griffin won. 

After the games, we passed out our Gigi's Cupcakes and let everyone dig in at the same time. They had a little blue filling in them to let them know the gender. Justin's mom was the first one to practically yell out "Its a boy!" Everyone is excited and we had a sweet time of hanging out. Here are some pics from the day...

Sheldon definitely wins best outfit!

I really did not take very many pictures, which sucks. But I am so glad we did this party. It was a great way to get to see the family and have a little fun! Thanks Dustin for your planning, decorations and food and thanks Misty for the cupcakes!
