Baby #2 Gender Reveal Party

December finally came and we were able to find out what Baby Penny #2 was. We put my friend, Christy Whitley, in charge. She was the best party planner and could keep this huge secret from us too!

The week before the party, Christy came down with the flu. Luckily, on Tuesday she had not ran fever and was fever free the rest of the week. She was still very weak but ended up doing an AWESOME job!

We tried to do a Christmas theme but ended up doing just Pink and Blue. Pinterest got me in trouble with this party because most of the ideas came from there. We did the food and she brought all the candies and decorations! It was a perfect day we will always remember and were so happy Christy was better and able to be apart of our day as she has been since Will was born!

The food 

Pink and Blue gumballs

Pink and Blue oreo pops

He or She hershey bars

Fruit skewers with Blue fruit dip

The cake

We did the Reveal first because the cake had the blue or pink icing in the middle depending upon the gender. We were so excited but would be happy either way. I was pulling for GIRL but gut instinct was a BOY. Doug was pulling for a BOY but his gut instinct was a GIRL. It was exciting to see who was right! We asked our guests to wear Pink or Blue and we mostly had BLUE at the party! I wonder why!!

Carefully taking my time

What is in there???

Blue for BOY

It's a BOY! 

We are so excited to welcome to our family Lucas "Luke" Andrew Douglas Penny.  The name Luke actually came to me in a dream. Andrew Douglas is from Will's twin brother, Drew, who passed away in January 2012. If we had another boy, we definitely wanted to include his name in their somehow. We know we can't replace Drew but we sure can honor him in this way. We are so excited for Will to have the brother he always needed!
