Gender Reveal!!

Yesterday was a gender reveal party for baby Kreider! You should know already by the color type I am using what the sex of the baby is!

Megan and Jeremy had a small party in the afternoon with about 10 friends where they put off some explosives to reveal the gender. Up until this time neither of them knew the sex of the baby. At the ultrasound, they had asked for two sealed envelopes with the info inside. They dropped one envelope off at one of their friends who agreed to set up the explosives for them. The other they gave to a neighbor who has a small bakery to make cupcakes. 

You know how you always have a feeling that you know the gender? I was convinced they were having a girl and both Megan & Jeremy thought so too. Imagine their surprise, when this is what the explosives revealed.

I see a big fireball with a little blue in it :)

The second party was in the evening for grandparents and siblings and cousins-to-be. For Jeremy's parents this will be their 10th grandchild. Their oldest is a girl and after that they have all boys! So they were all wishing for a girl. For Steve and I, this will be our 9th grandchild and we currently have 5 girls and 3 boys. We did not have a preference, but like I said, I really thought it was a girl. We all gathered outside Megan and Jeremy's house and they distributed cupcakes to all of us. We counted down from five and at zero everyone bit into their cupcake. Inside was a nice little glob of blue icing! 

Can you believe that none of us thought to take a picture of the inside!

All ready to take a bite of our cupcakes

After we had eaten the cupcakes, Jeremy set off a little blue smoke bomb. We hadn't realized it, but until then some of the little boys were still oblivious as to what sex the baby was. They had happily eaten their cupcake but the blue blob didn't mean anything to them. Suddenly when they saw the blue smoke they started jumping around and excitedly yelling "it's a boy!" We all got a good laugh out of that.

Very blue smoke

The children checking out the smoke. I believe that is Awstin with his head right in it.

Here is a picture of the happy couple!

So much to be thankful for

I can't wait to meet the little man! February will be here before we know it!
