When it came to delivering the news as to the gender of our little baby, we planned a special dinner with each of our families. Of course, we couldn’t just come out and say it. We planned to reveal the news after dinner during desert. Leslie baked cupcakes and iced half of them in blue and half in pink. The insides of all of the cupcakes were all the same color (either pink or blue – to be revealed later!).

She also created some cutouts in the shape of baby carriages with a pull-out baby. These were available to those that didn’t want a cupcake to eat.

All at once, we had everyone bite into their cupcake and pull out the baby from the carriage for the big reveal.  It’s a girl!

It’s a girl!

After the gender reveal, we gave everyone a set of letters cut out of paper. The letters were  scrambled up in no particular order.

Can you guess the name of our little baby?

Could this be it?

Something’s not quite right here…

It didn’t take long for everyone to discover her name.

It was a wonderful time with the most special people in our lives.
