Hi ladies. We just found out that our 4th child will be a boy :-) I want to tell our parents in the form of a Christmas present but I'm not sure what I should put in there to let them know, We told everyone that we didn't find out so it will be a surprise. We have 3 beautiful girls and everyone will be excited. I was thinking of putting like some little toy cars or something but I could really use some creative help. Thanks all and Merry Christmas.

What can I do next?

Have you heard about personalized M&M's? My friend ordered M&M's that say things like "boy," "baseball," and "blue," "tough," etc... and sprinkled them on a dessert and waited for the family to realized what she was saying. It was a great way to tell everyone!

We did a cake. Ordered it from the bakery. They just tinted it blue inside!

Ours said:

10 Fingers
10 Toes
Boy or Girl
Nobody Knows.

BUT, you could just buy or bake a Christmas cake and have it blue on the inside! See if they can figure it out. If they don't, you could have a "gift" as a back up to give filled with a baby boy outfit and blanket.

You could get a ball (whichever sport your family prefers) and include a note that says "start practicing now because your grandson is sure to want to play".

You could get a picture frame that is very boy themed and put a sonogram picture in it.

You could sign a card with all of your names on it and include whatever your son's name will be.

Anyone in the military? There's a quote by Chesty Puller about being "surrounded"

"We've got 'em exactly where we want 'em boys... We can shoot in any direction!"

Daddy finally has reinforcements.

If you haven't given a christmas card yet have a friend take a family picture or a picture of your three girls. Have the girls hold small signs( one says It's-the second says A-& third says Boy! can also have the girls wear tee shirts. Each with one of the words on it(can use iron on transfers). Take a family picture or just have the girls wear the shirts and see how long it takes everyone to figure it out. If you do picture you can make one or two cards at Walmart using their do it your self print & go machines.
