all she wanted for christmas.....

...was to know the gender of her new grandchild.

 

as you all know, we have been withholding the gender of our new baby as our little secret. it wasn't just withheld from you, my dear friends. oh no! we didn't even tell anyone in our families. mitch and i, as well as our girls, are the only ones who have known.  that was until christmas day.

 

when asked what she wanted for christmas all my mom would say is, "i want to know if it's a girl or a boy!" that really was all that she wanted! sounds easy enough and she fully expected to get what she wanted. however, i was not so sure. it wasn't until christmas eve when mitch and i climbed, exhausted, into bed that we decided to leave a little something in her stocking to clue her in.

 

i stood ready to capture the moment on film. apparently, it wasn't a good enough clue because she pulled it out of her stocking and set it on the couch. i had to draw her attention back to the object. and then it clicked! (sorry mom, i know how much you don't like your picture being taken):
