Isn't That Fancy: Baby Shower

I had a very fancy baby shower at work on Thursday~ a Fancy Nancy themed baby shower that is! First, you have to know that Fancy Nancy is one of my favorite books to read to Gretchen, second, you need to know that I work in an elementary school & teachers love books! So, if we can make anything book related; we will! The cake was half white and half chocolate with whipped icing- yum! It was adorned with a picture of Fancy Nancy and butterflies; i'm sure they're azure butterflies! It read, "Fancy That! It's a Girl!"
The tables were decorated with wands, sequined butterfly masks, and dress-up rings! We had to fancy up after a long day of teaching!
I was thrilled that Gretchen was able to be at the shower. I left a little early to pick her up and get back on time. We even had feather boas, gloves, crowns, and jewelry to wear.
Gretchen thought the butterfly masks were too cool!
Many of the teachers were so sweet to think of the big sister to be. One of them purchased her her very own Fancy Nancy book that came with the same crown that Nancy wears, and her own feather boa!
Another teacher purchased her a few books- she's taking a break from her coloring action to check out the gifts.
I must say, that I absolutely love the staff I work with and that i'm going to miss them terribly! Never before have I worked with such amazing teachers!
Gretchen did help open a few of the gifts.


We were very blessed with all that we received for M.
One of my favorite presents was the new activity center! I did not do a great job picking out G's, so I registered for a new one.


Thanks so much for the wonderful staff for putting on such a fancy shower for M!
