Nevertheless, the decoration of “Baby Hamer’s” gender reveal was adorable. Numerous balloons in pink, blue, and white were tied together to make a balloon wall. Letter blocks of the word “Baby Hamer” were placed in front of the balloons. Also, to add a bit of sparkle to the setup, party crackers were placed on either side of the balloon wall. Mommy-to-be Skinner looked adorable in a blue frock dress and father-to-be donned a basic grey t-shirt and denim jeans.
