Pink or Blue?

 

You may have noticed that I was a bit vague when reporting details about my family in My Summer In the Rearview post.  There was a reason for it.

 This beautiful couple is expecting a bundle of joy in March!

I'm going to be a Grandma!

Last weekend, we hosted a family gender reveal luncheon.

Is it a boy or a girl?

All attendees were asked to wear the color signifying their guess of the gender of the baby. 

Millie could barely control her excitement.

She was very confident with her choice.

I was delighted to find this darling pink and blue tablecloth and napkins.

The Mister ordered these rattles and pink and blue M&M's.

Butter board ala the Mister.

Whipped honey ricotta board

Roasted cherry tomatoes, garlic and crushed chilis, lemon zest, chili threads

The future Mommy and Daddy arrived with the cupcakes that held the well-kept secret of the gender.

I used every ounce of self-control not to tackle them at the door.

We could barely wait until they put down the cupcakes, let alone wait for dessert.

We all grabbed a cupcake and took a bite.

There was no better time to eat dessert first.

It's a GIRL!!!

Not only did we find out the gender, but the happy couple shared her darling name. 

I can't share that detail, but I will give you a hint.

The middle name is after a family member.

Ok, now we can eat!

This was the Mister's menu.  

Asparagus, gnocchi, mint

Basil mint pesto vinaigrette

Grilled veg platter

Charred feta dip

Peach and arugula panzanella salad

Pickled red onions, prosciutto, strawberries, candied pecans

Tomato and burrata, pine nut platter

Asparagus, gnocchi, mint

Basil mint pesto vinaigrette

Spatchcock Chicken

Fun Fact... I had never heard of Spatchcock Chicken before.

Our #2 has wonderful news, too!

Her newest addition is named Clementine.

But you can call her Lemmie.

Mrs. Adorable and I are already counting the days!

Adorable Michael spoils the Mommy-to-be rotten. 

I have a feeling that he will do the same to the new baby girl. 

So sweet!

Btw... Mr. Adorable and the Mister were also present.

The Dads were probably in the garage looking at all of the Mister's gadgets.

 

Three happy Mamas.

 How could this baby girl miss with two adorable parents?

And I am not biased in the least.

I guess Miss Millie was covering all her bases.

I've got to scram.

I have a lot of shopping to do!

Old Navy

One of my fellow picklers told me she was looking for a long-sleeved top to layer over a sports top.

This one's for you, Laurie!

I ordered these because they come in Petite!

They also look flattering.

But sometimes, what is flattering on a 5'11" model is not always flattering on me.

I'll keep you posted.

Cashmere and lots of colors.

I'm pretty sure I have this light sweatshirt in every color.

It's perfect for the Fall in Texas.

I have these sweaters in every color and wear them all the time.

It may be hot in Texas, but it is freezing in the restaurants.

I ordered this because I tossed a lot of my old sweaters last year.

And this.

The prices are great.

This comes in petite too.
