Gender Reveal - Baby Jones is a...

As I stated in an earlier post, we decided to reveal Baby Jones' gender to our parents at Christmas.

How did we pull off the big surprise?
We decided to have cakes made with colored frosting inside - blue for boy and pink for girl.

The cakes were a big hit and we had a blast surprising our families. Mr Jones' mom wanted to flip over the baby on top. My mom wanted to peek under the diaper. It was funny listening to all of the ways they thought they were going to find out.

As for the gender? Well, I'll let the pictures tell you...

The cake...how cute is it???


My mom's reaction was hilarious!


And in case you can't see the cake really well in the previous picture...


The newest member of our family is all boy. We can't wait to meet him!!
