Surprise!

This past Friday, May 8, my 6th grade girls surprised me with a baby shower!!!! They were so cute and they really blessed me!

Another teacher and I co-lead these girls for a Bible study and she helped them plan this surprise. So, I'm walking with them right after school to go to Hannah's (the other teacher) apartment across from the school. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Then as we're just about to enter her building, the girls say "change of plans Mrs. Custer- get in the van"! Two moms were helping and I get in and we go to one of the girls' houses. They made me close my eyes and two helped lead me into the house. There was a beautiful cake that another mom made and it was in the shape of a carousel horse and she obviously decorated it with an icing kit! It was so pretty!

There was a veggie platter, fruit, Oreo cookies and homemade brownies. We ate outside since it was beautiful day, then I opened gifts from the girls and we played two games. Not sure what the brand was, but I am exactly 8 squares of toilet paper around my waist! And the girls really impressed me with how fast they can put a diaper on a teddy bear. :)

I wish I had pics to show you, but they were taken with Hannah's camera and I'll have to post them later. It was such a fun surprise and I was quite impressed that 10 6th grade girls were able to keep it a secret for a month! :)
