We could barely keep it in! We went straight to Target to begin to look for a present for baby boy! After purchasing our favorite item, we went back to the house, grabbed some lunch and dreamed about all that was to come with our favorite little man as we watched the DVD of the sonagram once again. Scott went back to work and I began working on our reveal party. As I cooked, I called my dad first to announce the news of our son! He was thrilled and we talked about how sweet it would be to have little baby boy added to our family! My mom was on her way to meet me and help me set up the party, but got stuck in traffic--which was torture since I wasn't going to tell until I saw her in person. Finally the traffic subsided and as she entered the door to my house I squealed and told her the gender of her first grandchild! She was so excited!

| Our Baby Boy's first present! (From us!) |
Our reveal party was cleverly themed: "Baby It's Cold Outside!" With our house already decorated for Christmas, we decided to set up a hot cocoa bar in our living room with all sorts of treats to put in it; whip cream, chocolate fudge, salted carmel, marshmallows, cinnamon, peppermint, ect. Our friends made Christmas colored donuts, ginger men/women cookies, white chocolate covered pretzels and a banner to drape across our living room. It was perfect!

As our friends filed into our house waiting anxiously to hear what we were having. Scott and I kept a pretty good poker race. We had two our friends make little bows that had either a hair clip or safety pin attached to them. The idea was, the guests would guess "Where does the bow go?" If they thought it was a boy, they would pin the bow to the collar of their shirt (like a bow tie) and if they thought it was a girl, they would clip it to their hair (as a hair bow). They were so cute and it was a blast seeing what everyone's guesses were.
To reveal the gender of our baby, I handmade 39 miniature boxes that were wrapped in christmas ribbon and hiding white chocolate dipped marshmallows, dyed blue. Once each friend was handed a present, we told them to tear into them all at once. Shouts of joy echoed throughout the room at various times as the discovery was made about our little boy. We felt so celebrated and loved and received many hugs and "congratulations," from our dear friends!
