The Big Reveal

For this pregnancy, we wanted to find out the gender before baby arrived and share the news with family and friends. Because our sonogram was scheduled for the Monday before Thanksgiving, I thought it would be fun to reveal our baby's gender in a fun way for both of our families.

Good thing Greg was a good sport, although he really didn't have a choice.

I placed a balloon in a specially wrapped box, and then we shared our news before our Thanksgiving meals on Thursday and Saturday.

It was so much fun keeping up the anticipation throughout the week and then seeing everyone's expression when they saw the news.

We are so excited to be having a BOY!!

Turkey Day Times Two

Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays. Spending time with family, cooking, eating, watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, and then some football -- it is such a great holiday full of some of my favorite activities.

We spent actual Thanksgiving in Tulsa with my Dad, sister and her family. It was a packed house, but so much fun, especially with three little monkeys running around.

On Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, we spent the day with Greg's family at his aunt and uncle's house. Grace loved being with her cousins, especially Brooke who is just a few years older.
