4th of July - It's a ...

Today was the 4th of July and my grandparents (should have been) 60th anniversary cookout. Since Grandmomma didn't want to make a fuss of the upcoming anniversary, we compromised by adding in the GENDER REVEAL of Baby Dow 2.0. What a great day we had!!

The crowd was split over BOY or GIRL...prior to opening "the box".



Vaughan wanted to open the "present"


It's a BOY! I wish someone had photographed Vaughan's face when the ballons popped up...pure excitement :)




Dad opening up the champagne for a toast.

Background: When PawPaw was in the hospital one of the things he was most looking forward to was celebrating 60 years with Grandmomma...I had to make sure that this happened. I know he was with us...he never missed a good glass of Korbel Extra Dry :)

Our favorite pictures of Grandmomma and PawPaw...he left this world about 3 months short of 60 YEARS of marriage...how amazing!!

This sums up the day...the boy could not be contained...no nap, no problem (early bedtime)
