Carlie's Baby Shower; Drake Baby Gender Reveal

Taylor and I had fun making baby face cupcakes for Carlie's baby shower with Michelle!

First we dyed the fondant. You have to roll that dye into the fondant and then knead the fondant like dough.

The cupcakes were frosted with normal frosting, and then the fondant "face" was placed over top:

And we decided to add little baby hats to make them looks like little boys!

Here it is with the eyes and ears glued on:

Putting on the nose and making the mouth:

Dusting the cheeks with food powder:

We made each of the little faces different.  Taylor liked putting a tongue on the babies.

All the many baby faces:

The baby shower set up:

Taylor helped me make the games for the baby shower!

This is the safari banner I made for the boys!

We did a quick Justice family pic before the shower started.

First pic of our family of 9!

Making Carlie and Seth try some baby food and guess what it is!

 Taylor learned to crochet and made these two blankets for the boys!

After the shower, Taylor and I let our moms cut our gender reveal cake that we had put together a couple days previously.

Michelle made the cake and cut out the middle:

Taylor and I went into another room and filled the cake with the M&Ms that corresponded to baby Drake!

Michelle found these cute yellow ducks that we mixed in with our pink M&Ms!

 Then we put the cake top on:

 Then we frosted the top and Michelle put fondant on top of it all.

The end result:

Cutest little fondant converse shoes on top!

 We tried to trick everyone in the family because they all were guessing it was a girl, so to throw Taylor's parents off we acted like we had dropped a M&M and it had rolled under the table.

This picture is my favorite of their faces!

Baby Girl Drake sucking her thumb!

Tannin doesn't understand why her "little" sister's clothes are too big for her!

On Sunday we did a family picture in our backyard.

Then we went on a walk around Silver Lake.

We even saw a moose on the way home!

With antlers!

Taylor flipped out when he saw it. He was driving. I expected it, but I wonder what my dad thought in the back seat. Haha!

On Monday, my parents and Seth and Carlie stopped by to see the new infusion clinic.

For scouts, Taylor and I had fun making cookies with our 1 Webelos kid, and then doorbell ditching the cookies to neighbors.  Taylor and I would hide in the playground area or behind a tree while the boy ran and rang the doorbell.

And after work and scouts I decided to take a picture of Baby Girl at 20 weeks and 1 day:
