A Gender Reveal Party !! ?what?

Have you every heard of a gender reveal party? Me either. My youngest sister, Katy, is a number of years younger than me and these parties are the thing to do now!! I have to say, I didn't really get the why until the actual reveal.

Here are some of the pictures.  The party was held at my younger sister Melody's house.

It was a house full of friends, family and little ones!!

After everyone got there, Melody had everyone go out to the back yard to take a picture of the "sides".. you know, the who thinks it's a boy vs the who thinks it's a girl.

Then a big box was brought out for Katy and Kyle to open.

 It was empty.

 Then, the lights on all of the trees turned PINK!!!!!!

Don't you LOVE everyone's faces!!!

Aren't they sooo cute :) 

So now that I've been to a Gender Reveal party, I totally get it.  It was fun for our family to be a part of the finding out. Next to waiting to find out the gender at the birth, this has to be the way to do it!!

Fancy Nancy, meet Fancy Lexi and her friends!

Lexi’s 5th birthday party was last Sunday.  She had a Fancy Nancy Tea Party… well it was Fancy Nancy, but no tea!  The girls all dressed up and had fun making tissue paper wrist corsages and butterfly placemats. We then ate fancy cake and snacks and drank pink punch out of fancy cups!

We had the party at my parent’s house.. in “Maxwell Hall” as deemed by a friend of mine :)  It really was the best location for a fancy birthday party!

Look at all those camera’s.. must be some scrapbookin’ mommas! :)

Fun was had by all and Lexi loved all of her fancy gifts!Thanks to everyone who helped celebrate Lexi’s special day!
