The gender reveal game

 Jill's family arrived late in the evening after driving all day long. 

They quickly raided the snacks and the 'fridge!

The next morning, we zoomed Josh's family in Arkansas so they could play the gender reveal game with us!

This is the game board that Mindy made.

Each kid took a turn popping either a balloon for a girl or a boy.

We were really hoping that the confetti wouldn't fly out on the very first balloon pick in order that each kid would get a try.  

Eli and Emeri were both asked to pick out balloons and Jason popped it for them.

Most of us were pre-guessing this baby would be a boy.

Eli is the only boy and there are 4 granddaughters, so we thought that would be good!

Would you believe we got to the last 2 balloons?!  Amazing that it wasn't 2 pink squares or 2 blue squares left but one of each!

It was decided that Hannah and Sophia would pop these at the same time.

A girl!!

Eli thought it would be ok to be the only boy.  Makes him special.

The grandkids had exchanged names for Christmas.  Mindy and Jason were getting ready to leave, so Hannah gave her gift for Baby Girl P., a sweet stuffed hedgehog and some onesies.

Kobi had to check them out!

Baby Girl P. had Claire's name, so Claire opened up her gift.

Jason captured her expression of joy!

We had to take our family photo in 2 different shifts this year.  After the Colorado kids left, the Arkansas kids would come and we'd take another photo.

Covid has pirated our get together this year!

Arg!

Good-bye to our Colorado kids!

Next time we see them, Mindy will have a little bump!!
