Teacher Christmas Gifts

The kids and I gave homemade gifts this year to their teachers...
Yummy cranberry cookie mix in a jar, a quilted potholder, and cards made from my left over scraps.

They turned out pretty cute.

12 Days of Christmas

 We started a new Christmas tradition this year in keeping with the true spirit of the season. I created this calendar for the 12 days leading up to Christmas. Behind each number is a good dead that we did that day. The kids helped to come up with simple tasks they could do to make others feel good. For example:

• Smile and Say hello to everyone you see.
• Leave change in a vending machine
• Give 5 compliments to 5 different people
• Take some treats to the animal shelter
• Leave a gift for the garbageman
• Find the house with the best lights and send them a note

A Happy Breakfast
