The reason I am a little late in getting this blog written is explained in the picture below.
This is obviously a very busy time for our business and every computer I own is being used to design Christmas Cards or order pictures. We actually made our last order yesterday so I am now able to tell you about a night that I will never forget and can't wait to share with my child someday...Any how, back to the party.
We wanted to do something fun for our families to find out with us. I wanted to find out what Emily was going to have based off my mom's reaction. So Emily had an idea to have both of our mothers open a gift and inside the gift would either be blue or pink shoes. Here is a picture of the shoes before we opened them.
Here is a picture of the invitation Emily had made for the party.
So came the night of the party and Emily had everything ready with that special touch that she has. Here are a few pictures of some of the decorations, food and cupcakes she had made. Notice the beautiful pink and blue hydrangeas on the table she had done.
After about an hour of visiting with everyone it was finally time to find out that Emily was going to have a boy....or that's what myself and many others at the party were thinking. All because of our last visit to the Doctor where we had an ultrasound that looked like Baby Burton was going to be a boy... Here, take a look for yourself...
So we all gathered around and there stood my mom, Lynda, and Emily's mother, Judy each holding a wrapped gift with either a blue or pink shoe in it. After a short countdown the race was on to open the gift and finally find out what we were having.
To see the video of our parents opening the shoes and everyone's reaction click this youtube link below...It is hilarious to see everyone's reaction and excitement. You will have to watch it a few times to really see each person's reaction and shock.

As you can see from the video there was a lot of shocked people to find out Baby Burton was going to be a GIRL. None more shocked I think than myself. I thought for the longest time that Emily was going to have a girl but the weeks leading up to the party I started to really lean toward her having a boy. The final straw for me to think Baby Burton was going to be a boy was driving into the Doctor's parking lot when that Brad Paisley song "If he's anything like me" came on. The song is about him finding out and having a son. The song literally started as we were pulling into the parking lot. Just goes to show that God has some sense of humor...lol.
The other funny part about the video, is my first reaction, because I am color blind. All I saw was my mom freaking out and waving a shoe around. It took me a second to realize that was a pink shoe she was waving around.
Here is a picture of Emily and I right after we found out...
Many of you know my obsession with In-N-out burger. In fact when Emily and I were back home in California for my brother's wedding where we found out Emily was pregnant (if you don't know that story, go back and read our first post on this blog.) I had 4 Double Double's in 6 days. So my sister surprised me with the gift below. I'm pretty sure whenever I have to dress her she is going to be wearing this!!!
As the amazing night came to an end we wanted to get a picture with everyone who thought it was going to be a boy.
And those who thought it was going to be a girl.
Our blog wouldn't be complete with out a message from Houston.
