The Verdict Is In!

We've known for a couple weeks now what gender this baby is, but we're still pretty excited about it!  After our ultrasound appointment, we had the family over for supper.  We get together for supper every other Wednesday night and it just so happened to be that Wednesday, so we just had everyone come to our house.  We made this little balloon dart game and filled just one balloon with the appropriate color of paint.

After supper, many a dart was thrown.  Really.  It took a LONG time to hit the balloon with the paint in it.  Everyone took turns and finally Aunt Cassie did it.

The blue paint went flying and the cheers went up!  With 16 grandkids in Danny's family and only three of them being boys, everyone was pretty excited to see blue:)

Earlier in the day, we had a little fun finding out with just the two of us.  We had the tech put girl or boy in an envelope so we could find out in a more fun way than her just coming out and saying it was a boy.  After lunch, we went to Cold Stone for an ice cream treat and I got to look inside the envelope and find out first.  That was pretty fun for me!  Then Danny waited outside while I went in and ordered for the both of us.  We had decided that if it was a girl, I would have the scooper person hide a gummy bear at the bottom of his cup and if it was a boy, he would have a hidden blueberry.  The guy at the counter thought it was so much fun and he put about four blueberries in the bottom of Danny's cup!  So then I got to go give Danny his ice cream and watch him discover the surprise for himself.  He was so excited to see the berry!  He said it was the best blueberry he's ever tasted:)

And on a completely unrelated topic, if you're ever looking for a new hairstyle, just ask Summer.  She's got a few ideas.  She calls this "The Unicorn".
