Raspberry Filled Cupcakes ;)

Yes, thats raspberry(pink) on the inside of that cupcake...and if you've been following my blog posts lately, you should know what that means. If not, keep reading and you'll figure it out... ;)

We had a fun & "hoppy" birthday party for Dallin last night...Here are the pics I got... It started with a yummy dinner. We did Pineapple Pork for everyone and then the rest of the family brought rolls, potatoes, veggies, and fruit salad. Thanks everyone for helping out with the food. Ashley made the cute frog cupcakes and my neighbor made the "special" water cupcakes and I added the pink waterlilies...
This was Dallin's cupcake, with 1 little candle, that he got to smash and eat later, which you'll find pictures of, if you keep scrolling down...

All of Micah's siblings and their families were there with us except Jodi&Clint. And Ashley&Daniel were able to be with us from my family. Then kinda at the last minute, Micah decided to figure out how to invite those who weren't there with us to a live version of it on the computer. So we were happy that some of you were able to see it that way too. And sorry to any of you who didnt get to see it live...we'll post a video as soon as Micah's sister sends that to us.
I loved this cute little monster bag that the Petes brought for Dallin.

And he is gonna love the little leapfrog tag junior reader they got for him...Thanks Pete family!

So, in addition to this being Dallin's first birthday, it was also special because it was a "gender reveal" party for Baby #2. So is Dallin going to have a little sister or little brother??? Keep scrolling to find out...

We did a vote on favorite boy names from our list...the winning name was Ethan, which happens to be my favorite boy name right now too...

And we voted on favorite girl names too...the winning name was Emmeline/Emmy, which also happens to be one of my favorite 3 from our top girl names...so I'm glad everyone is on the same wave link as us.. :)

Course we had a gender vote as well...which turned out 12 on the girl side and 7 on the boy side...

Then we sang to Dallin, and let him have one of the special reveal cupcakes to smash and eat. Remember at this point none of us knew the gender of the baby...So it was pretty exciting to watch him with the cupcake, just waiting to see what was inside it...He was not shy about it at all, dug right in with his thumbs.

Then he stopped to get some frosting off his thumbs, and then proceeded to tear the thing in half and devour it...

Soon enough I could see a little raspberry, not blueberry, peaking out from the inside... So...IT'S A GIRL!!! Dallin will get to welcome a little sister into the family come March!

This was Dallin first experience with a cupcake and frosting, and getting to make as much mess as he pleased...and he ate the whole thing, even tried to eat the paper wrapper!
So now you know the significance of the RaspberryFilled Cupcakes...Happy First Birthday Dallin! We love you.. and we know that you will be the sweetest Big Brother to your Little Sister...We are so excited for all the fun that is ahead of us!
