Sugar and Spice, and Everything Nice....
...'cause it's a GIRL!!!!!!
What a whirl wind this last week has been! It started with our ultrasound on Wednesday when we found out we're having a girl! And what a surprise it was....Kevin was convinced it was a boy and had me thinking that too for the last 4 months. But we were thrilled and celebrated with dinner at The Pink Door in Post Alley! Also stopped by a children's store on the way, where Kevin's picked out her first little outfit!
Dinner was awesome!! Highly recommended as a great place for Italian food in Seattle.
The next evening, we had both sets of parents over for dinner to announce our big news. We decided to tell them by making a pink cake which we hid over chocolate frosting. We also cleared our kitchen chalk board and made it into a voting poll...our friends voted on Saturday as well.
Dad's voted girl, hands down, and Mom's went for boy (although we were told later that they'd secretly hoped it was a girl!) Below is the video of them cutting the cake
It was such a fun night! We aren't able to get together with both sets of parents very often, so it was a very special evening.
But the fun didn't stop there! As is Kevin and my way with "birthday week", we made this gender fiasco a week long celebration as well, and why not?! Saturday we invited our friends over for a gender reveal Fiesta that included a margarita bar, pin the tail on the donkey, Mexican food, and a visit from the "stork" (aka, a donkey pinata!) Below are a bunch of pictures from the party. Such a fun afternoon, and one we will never forget
At 3pm it was time for the stork's arrival!
We did this inside due to rain, but it actually made it more interesting and funny! And what I would have thought to be a cheap little pinata turned out to be made of steal. It kept going till we finally asked Kirk to take a swing with no eye cover on...and out came the pink candy!
Thanks again to everyone for coming! Such a fun party.... memories we will always treasure!

Your party looked like it was such a blast. So bummed we have to miss out on all of these things! If only we lived out west...
Congrats on the news, I know how exciting it is. Please let me know what colors you are decorating with I would love to make Little Miss Lauckner a quilt.
Take care,
Callie
