She is beautiful and so far everything looks perfect! Thank you so much to friends and family who love and support us!! We are living our dream and couldn’t do it without each of you!!

To reveal the gender, we had our family over for pizza and had 5 balloons stuffed into a taped box (an envelope sealed with gender inside was handed to a woman at the party store (fro me a party) who taped the balloons in the box for us, so my husband and I found out with everyone else. We cut the box open and all screamed after seeing pink balloons!!

We shared pizza (Piccini), opened some small but very special gifts, and ate desserts from our favorite bakery (Chester’s). It was an incredible night that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Here are some pictures from before we opened the box…
