Last year, I went all out for Addy's teachers' Christmas gifts & spent way too much money! This year I toned it down a bit. I still did the 5 days of Christmas, but only for her Kindergarten teacher. I looked at Mrs. Jalifi's teacher wishlist (it's on the PTO website & there's one for every teacher. It shows all their favorite restaurants, stores, snacks & etc...) for ideas & and here's what I came up with...
On the first day of Christmas
Addy gave to me
An ornament for my tree.
On the 2nd day of Christmas
Addy gave to me
Diet coke & candy
And an ornament for my tree.
(Diet coke & peanut m&ms, Mrs. Jalifi's favorites)
On the 3rd day of Christmas
Addy gave to me
Lunch from Subway
And an ornament for my tree.
(I asked her to email me what she wanted & brought it to her at the school.)
On the 4th day of Christmas
Addy gave to me
A pan of yummy brownies
And an ornament for my tree.
(The brownies were made by my friend Carrie who makes cakes. She makes the best brownies EVER!)
On the 5th day of Christmas
Addy gave to me
A pair of new converse
And an ornament for my tree.
(I made this converse ornament. Didn't it turn out cute! I almost kept it for myself!)
I had to bring all this to the school on Friday for Addy's Christmas party. The gift bags are presents for Mrs. Jalifi (converse), Mrs. Cardenas, Mrs. Berry & Ms. North (gifts from their teacher wishlist) & 20 bags of Oreo truffles for all the staff at SOE.
I think I will always go all out for Addy's teachers. They just love her so much & take great care of her while she's at school! (I may have to rethink things though when I have 2 in school, lol!)
