We finally know

Tonight we went to my parents house to have some dinner, spend some family time and find out exactly what kind of baby it is that we're having. We had some delicious french dip sandwiches with all sorts of yummy sides and treats. Afterwards, we were sent on a scavenger hunt. The first clue to finding out what our baby is was some diaper pins and the note attached said: "Here is a pin, to help put on that grin, now hurry and jump all the way to the pump, because, Cam, we all know you're miring, to know if boy or girl you'll be siring." So we headed downstairs into the the laundry room.



There we found our second clue. It was a bag with blankets in it and the note said: "Here is a blanket to wrap the baby so warm, in no time at all it will be in your arm, Now look under Chelsy's bed, for there's nothing to dread, the sex of the baby soon will be said."



There our gift was a couple of bottles and the note said: "Here are two bottles, one blue and one pink, the answer you're after is just on the brink, so please walk and not run, to where dad keeps his gun, and maybe there you'll find what the lord has assigned." There we found our last clue which was attached to some pacifiers.


The note said: "Here is a pacifier, and I am no liar, if you and your groom go to the blue room, you may just find out, what the fuss is about." There we found a gift wrapped photo frame with this in it:



I've tried to upload the video of us opening this present but for some reason, it keeps giving me an error message, so I'll try and post that later, if I can get it figured out. Oh, and don't worry if you can't tell what the baby is from this picture. We couldn't either. But of course the writing at the top is what gave it away. After opening this picture we stepped into the room and it was plastered with pieces of paper with the word "boy" written all over them.

Needless to say, we are pleased as punch! Either way we would have been but it's so exciting and new and I can finally say he, his, and him and start calling him by his rightful name, Anders Camron Reeder. I've never been happier and I must say even though it's not quite Christmas for another half an hour, it's the best one ever! Thank you Mom and Cassandra for a memory that we'll never forget! And thank you everyone who knew, for keeping a secret so well!

What a fun/clever way to do that for you guys! I must admit, I was too excited, and I scrolled all the way down to the bottom without reading anything to find out it was a BOY first, then I went back up and read it. :) I'm so excited for you guys, Brandy! MUCHO CONGRATS!!!
