T Stands for Gender Reveal

I'm going to be a Great-Aunt in April. The Nephew and his wife are expecting their first child. There was a gender reveal party where the couple and the family would learn whether the baby was a girl or a boy.

This was the first time I had seen The Nephew's new home. So before the party officially began while guests were arriving, I got a grand tour of their cozy, little nest.

Gender reveal parties are new to me. Back in the day, pregnancy was called confinement. We pretty much stayed home after the 6th month and stayed in our Omar de la Tent-maker fashions. The Niece-in-law looked very cute with her baby bump and trendy clothes.

With the house decorated with pink and blue balloons, I thought the parents-to-be would open up a box revealing pink or blue balloons as I had seen on the Interwebs.

Pink and blue plates were on the counter for guests to load up with food. When all the guests had arrived, the cake was brought out and put on the table. That confused me. Dessert before dinner? Oh, well, life is short eat dessert first. 

A pretty yellow cake with 

He She What Will It Be? 

written on the top.

The couple cut the cake open to reveal pink frosting in the middle. The use of the cake was clever, and the little one is

 a girl! 

I had eaten most of my salad before I remembered to take a picture of the food. I had sausage, lasagna, salad, and a crust of garlic bread.

There was also Buffalo chicken wings, rigatoni and cheese, chips, veggies, and dip, and chocolate.

For a beverage, I had some Blackberry Ginger Ale.

And a nice visit with family and friends.
