Baby showers!

We were lucky enough to have two baby showers for our little girl. I wasn't expecting anything as this is our second, but was pleasantly surprised to find out that my class wanted to host a shower and our friends wanted to have a celebration at our favorite restaurant for Erin and I. Here are some pics that show their generosity and thoughtfulness!!

The parents beautifully transformed our classroom into a shower for a baby girl - it was amazing!

Even Tristan and my mom got to come and celebrate! And no surprise, the girls in the class LOVED T and would follow him around like a swarm of bees :)

Again, not the best quality pictures, but they capture the moment :) Also, I've forgotten to mention an interesting fact about this school year that relates to my first pregnancy with Tristan. This class of first graders has six of the ten students that I taught two years ago when they were Pre-Kers and I was pregnant with T!! These six often refer to themselves as "baby fairies" since they think that every time I am their teacher, I end up having a baby! I cracked up when I heard this term and now will always lovingly refer to this group of students as my "baby fairies" :) They've also tried to convince me to teach them again in second grade, third grade, etc. Ummm, we'll see how this goes. Not so sure I'm ready for the baby fairies to do their magic again so soon :) It's also pretty neat that Tristan got to come to this shower with the same students who threw a shower for me (and him) the first time. So many similarities and coincidences - we've come full circle!

Love these two!

All the girls outside the restaurant. I knew I should have worn sunglasses - I have the worst sunshine-in-the-face look - yikes!
