a sweet surprise

Well I had a very sweet surprise today at work! One of my students was having a birthday today. The same student who wrote this precious letter about "S.E. Clare" that is now framed and hanging in her room. His mom and dad were bringing him cupcakes, etc to celebrate his birthday. They ended up surprising me with an impromtu baby shower. They brought me this adorable pink and white cake (I tried brining the bottom tier home and it didn't survive the trip), a big "it's a girl" balloon, and the sweetest gifts. I got this stuffed dino (her son is a dino-fanatic and I always do a big dino unit in my classroom) and giftset. I was so surprised and touched by their thoughtfulness.
