What Will Baby Bee?

Baby Fountain's Gender Reveal Party was Saturday. I was pleased with how it turned out and I think everyone enjoyed it. It is definitely a day that D and I will always remember!

The drink table

Goodies for the kiddos

I made an ice ring out of lemon slices and lemonade (so it wouldn't get watered down when it melted), to keep the lemonade cold.

The party favors!

And up close!

The label said

"How sweet of you to buzz on by

Baby Fountain's Gender Reveal

April 16, 2011"

The Food Table

These are the Pesto Cheese Puff Pastries I posted the recipe for on Friday.

I had little bowls of Hershey Kisses on the table, with little stickers I had made from a lady on Etsy.

The Dessert Table

Cupcakes!

My sweet friends helped me and put on all of these cupcake wrappers I bought on Etsy!

My mother-in-law made this diaper cake for us!

After everyone ate, we went outside to take a few pictures and bust the pinata!

Some people thought Baby Fountain was a girl!

And some people thought Baby Fountain was a boy!

And some people couldn't decide!

The Bee Pinata!

Sweet little Kyle taking a turn.

Somehow, I missed pictures of Kennedy and Kadence taking a turn.

Our nephew, Matthew taking a turn. He's a t-ball player, so we let him use a real bat! :)

D taking a turn - and busting it. He hit it pretty hard, that's why you can't see it in the picture!

And the reveal! We're having a baby boy!

Bumble Bee Pinata

We finally decided that we wanted to announce the gender of Baby Fountain with a pinata. Easy enough, right? Wrong!

We went to Party City, Card & Party Factory, Fiesta, and searched a million places online. I finally found a pinata and ordered it last weekend. I wanted to make sure that it would be here in time, so I paid for 2 day shipping.

Then, for 2 days, I obsessively checked online and it said that my order was "processing". I called the store and they told me that their website was a bit out of date, but the item was backordered and they didn't know when it would be in stock again.

So, frantically I searched for another one without much luck. I finally decided that I either had to make one (I can't believe that this was even a plan), or come up with Plan Bee.

Thankfully, when I called a dear friend to complain about the situation, she suggested another party store that I hadn't even thought of. I found a bee pinata on their website, and called the store to make sure they had them in stock.

They told me they had about 4 in stock but that I couldn't purchase one over the phone or have one held for me (lovely, huh). So, she was getting off work early for the day so she offered to drive all the way down to the store (which isn't close) and pick it up for me, so that by the end of the work day - I would know if I needed another plan or not.

What great friends I have!

Guess what she got...

Yep! I am now in possession of a (kind of ugly) bee pinata and I think I'm the happiest momma-to-be ever! I can't wait to fill this thing and see the reactions of everyone when it busts open and literally throws our baby's gender in their faces! What a great party it will be!
