Goodies and Gifts

Although every year I attempt to reduce the amount of extra buying and unnecessary business that occurs during the Holidays , I always cave when it comes to the teachers.  I mean really.... those teachers [most of them] deserve a little token of appreciation.  We made our gifts for the girls teachers last weekend. Bailee didn't want to take anything for her teachers....imagine that. Karsyn has 7 teachers she wanted to take a little something to, so we needed to keep it simple {we made sure to remember the bus driver too}

 Mrs E takes such good care of Emmrey for most of her day, and she is having a birthday over the break, so we wanted to do something special for her.

 We also spent the weekend making goodies for friends and neighbors {and possibly a few for ourselves} After years of trial and error...we have narrowed it down to Belly buttons, Cool Whip Balls, and Toffee {Marks' the master on that}
