Our family has a LOT of babies! The oldest is almost 11 and there are 3 babies on the way. By Christmas, there will be 17 great-grands! Right now the count is 6 boys (3 on the way) to 10 girls plus our little peanut. We had a 6 girl streak and currently a 3 boy streak. There was a lot of pressure to keep the streak alive! Ha! As the last few babies have been born, we've started the tradition of the BIG reveal. My
Shanty cousins both did cupcake reveals, and they turned out so cute!
We had our gender sono on Friday, July 1. I started researching ideas and came up with several:
- a pinata with pink or blue candy insde - lots of fun for the kids
- Hand out a Hershey's kiss to everyone - with nuts BOY, without GIRL
- blue or red/pink sparklers
- balloons in wrapped in a box
Since we were so close to the 4th of July, my mom bought blue and red sparklers. We were going to hold off our reveal until after the fireworks on the 4th and light the right sparklers for everyone. It would have been 11 o'clock if we waited until then, so we opted for a new plan.
We went with the balloon plan, and it turned out perfect!
