Your Grandmama Kim and Grandpops James hosted a gender reveal party for you today at their home. We had quite a few people there, from friends from work to family from all over. Some of our out-of-towners included Gay and Kevin from Lubbock; Aaron, Kristen, and little John from Shreveport; Rayla and Morgan from Ruidoso, New Mexico... all came to find out if you are going to be a little miss or a little mister.
Highlights:
We asked guests to wear pink or blue to cast their vote. It was a pretty even split.
Your dad wore a blue shirt with pink shorts (a last minute addition, I might add), and I wore pink.
Baby John, along with the rest of the Atkins clan, wore pink
The Jackson side (except Uncle Darren and M'kenna, who he dressed) wore blue. The entire Lucas side (except Uncle Nate) wore pink.
We asked guests to guess how many pink and blue M&Ms were in a jar for their chance to cut the cake. After we played a silly wives tale game to see what the old wives tales would predict you to be (boy, by the way), it was time to cut the cake. Your Grandmama Kim was the closest guess at the M&Ms, so she got to wield the cake knife. Drum roll please....
It's a girl!
I know you already know that... but that sliver of pink icing in the cake was our exciting way of finding out alongside our friends and family today. And how much fun that was...
Now, we have a name to choose, a nursery to decorate, and plenty of pink outfits and accessories to stock up on! Let the fun begin!
Love you, little GIRL!
Mommy
