Unique Gender Reveal at Disney World
The couple, already parents to a little boy named Dawson, filmed the fascinating gender reveal at Disney World earlier in January. They had organised a sweet plan where toddler Dawson was to bite into a cupcake with either pink or blue frosting inside, signifying the gender of their new addition.
