'Reveal Party' [day 3]

We already had our Cali vacay planned & thought it would be fun to have a small little 'Reveal Party' to share the gender w/our close friends & family, since they miss SO much w/us being 3,000 miles away [thx to the Army]! But, once a party was mentioned...the guest list quickly grew. :] Awesome, the more...the merrier!

Obviously, we strayed from the norm pink/blue and decided to go with a purple/green theme. Which there was plenty of...lol

Looks like everyone is voting...BOY!

...even our fabulous blog readers, thought boy!

My little brother made this cake...and our cupcakes! No experience in baking or pastry's, he just whipped this up from scratch...uhmmm pretty amazing!Purple = Girl...Green = BoyIt's a GIRL!!!Let the mama eat cake...
