Lauren and Mike's Gender Reveal Party

My best friend is having a baby!
​I'm so excited for my bestie Lauren and her husband Mike, who are expecting a bundle of joy this December. This past weekend, they included their friends and family in on the fun of finding out whether they're having a boy or a girl at their gender reveal party. I brought my camera along to document the festivities. The beautiful cake was sitting on the dining room table throughout the party, tantalizing everyone with the secret it held inside. Until the parents-t0-be cut into it, only the sonogram tech and the baker knew whether the layers inside would be blue or pink....

When guests entered the party, they cast their votes on the scoreboard for what they thought the baby would be. I took a long hard look at Lauren's belly..........and turns out I have neither psychic capabilities nor x-ray vision so I was pretty much drawing a blank. I decided to go with what I hoped the baby would be: a girl, because it meant I could buy her adorable little dresses and headbands. Also, the little pink tutu pin I got as a result matched my shirt better ;) 

By the time it was ready for the big event, the votes were pretty much split down the middle. I believe the final count was 11 for boy and 12 for girl. 
Here's what the reveal looked like:

IT'S A GIRL!
(I was right!)
Congratulations Lauren and Mike!
I love you guys, and I can't wait to meet your little girl in December.
