Gender Reveal - The Guests!

Josh and I disagree on a lot of things. For example: how to separate laundry (I don't), what kind of milk to buy (whole-duh), how much spice to put in spaghetti sauce (none), whether or not the dogs should sleep in the bed (absolutely), the best color in the world (brown), etc, etc.  However, if there is one thing that we 100% always agree on, it's the people that we choose to surround ourselves with, and let me tell you...we have won the lottery in that regard!
 
The number of people that came to support us was just overwhelming and wonderful. We maaaybe had to entice most of our guests with lots of alcohol and a little bit of food, but hey...whatever works! We had friends and family show up dressed in either #teampink or #teamblue colors (with a few showing up in #teamvol colors...totally understandable). I have to say, our guests were looking extra festive on Saturday. I was very proud of them.
 
I have to start with our two biggest supporters: our wonderful pups. Julia wins for the best photo of the weekend with this one:
 
I mean, seriously?? My heart is just squishing into nothing with this cuteness...
 
 
 
 
 
Alright-the rest of the bunch aren't quite so adorable, but we love them anyway:
 
 
 
 
 
 I take back previous statement.  Baby Thomas might be MORE adorable than the pups :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I'm more than a bit devastated to confess that all of my post-reveal pics were deleted when I finally completed my phone transfer. We took TONS of really great family photos after the reveal, and they're all gone :(
 I also had a great one of our friend, Jess, who is expecting a baby girl the day after my due date! Plus a few of my sweet co-workers that made the trek out west. and I can't forget about my cool nephew, Chase, and his friend, Spencer. All totally vanished.
The worst part...I had tons of hilarious late-night photos that are all gone too. Some of y'all are lucky for that though. I'm beginning to think this was an act of sabotage...
 
I'm thankful for the three family photos that Google+ did manage to back-up. And I'm even more thankful for having sober memories to keep all the other moments that my phone lost.
 
 
 
The grandparents got some good practice holding a baby boy:
 
 
These two photos below are my favorites. That's a whole lotta good souls squashed together right there:
 

 
 
And our most festive friend award goes to......
 
 
None other than "Crackhead." This may be difficult to believe, but no...he's not an actual crackhead (that we know of). Well done, dude. Well done.
 
I can't even emphasize enough how truly lucky we are to have such wonderful people in our lives (even you, Crackhead). We are so appreciative of the support, the laughs, and the fabulous times that our friends and family share with us.
 
Thanks to everybody that came out last weekend. Y'all truly overflow our hearts with happiness :)
