School Baby Shower

Last week, Dan got a fun surprise when his entire high school threw a baby shower for him! The Secretary of the Student Council, Whitney, planned the party, got the teachers' buy-in, and invited me to come that afternoon, too. She chose a New York Islanders theme (of course), and had snacks and games prepared for everyone.

Dan had the most people at his baby shower I've ever seen. :)

Whitney and Mrs. Camarena explained the rules of the games to everyone. The nice part was that all the kids played the games and we just got to sit back and be entertained!

They used tennis rackets to pass (clean) diapers to each other in a relay race. They had to take the fewest steps on the sheets of bubble wrap while getting the diaper to the finish line the fastest.

Of course who can resist popping the bubble wrap afterwards? This student was extra dedicated. Ha!

In the next game, they had everyone fill in the missing words of the nursery rhymes within 5 minutes.

All the kids hard at work on their nursery rhymes.

And oh look, there's Dan looking the answers up on his iPhone and passing them to Mr. Hicok. I'm pretty sure that's detention-worthy!

Next, they had the kids pair off and feed each other applesauce blindfolded. Super funny to watch, but I'm glad the adults didn't have to participate!

At the end of the party, everyone enjoyed the delicious Islanders' cake. 

My blue teeth after eating the cake. The frosting was a *little* intense! :)

Dan and I with Whitney, the organizer and hostess of the fun shower, along with the high school's gift to us.

They framed an ultrasound picture of our little girl, and the entire high school signed the border.

We received several other fun gifts and outfits, including this homemade NY Islanders t-shirt.  It was a great party and so sweet of the students and teachers to plan a baby shower for us. Our little girl is so loved already!
