Graduation and Teacher Gift Printables - End of the School Year Goodies!

Image
 Here it is, Maycember! Once the month of May starts it quickly snowballs into a continuous stream of concerts, recitals, final games, awards ceremonies, graduations and parties! It's almost too much, and yet, how could it be too much? This is it! This is what it's all for! All the hard work of going to school and taking the tests and practicing the piece and dreaming of the celebration, this is the culmination of all that effort!  Over of the years, as I've prepared teachers' gifts and graduation cards to use, I've saved the printable files to use again in the future or make available for others as well.  Here are some of my favorites: I like these green flowers and the Pink & White cookies at Trader Joe's. I thought they made a nice little bundle for either Teacher Appreciation week or a thank you at the end of the year (if you can keep the cookies around long enough!) Two color options available in case you are low on ink!  LINK TO LISTING Cowboy Caviar f...

Christmas!

Some pics from our Christmas. . . we spent a week in Seattle at my parents house. Let's start with an outing to Trophy Cupcakes in Wallingford.





Seattle had more snow than they knew what to do with. We made the most of it and played in the snow a little everyday. And yes, its true. . . they sled on the streets in Seattle. Why not? Certainly noone can drive on them!









Lucy in her princess fairy skirt, with her magic wand. . . riding a rocking motorcycle in converse. It says everything.


These are my nephews, Tanner and Ethan, anxiously looking for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Sleighbells were definitely heard ringing as he visited our neighbors and the boys were sure they'd spot him any minute.


My sister, Jenn, and her little Tori. Below are pics of making sugar cookies with my mom. . . a favorite Christmas activity. Lucy was more interested in eating them than frosting them.




One day, we braved the snowy roads and made it out of the house and went to Alderwood Mall just to let the kids burn off some energy and for us to burn off some cabin fever.



The kids would scramble to be the first to sit on Papa Bob's lap, it was the most popular seat in the house.
At home in Salt Lake:

This is Lucy with her Gramma Linda and Grampa Marion, Mike's parents.


Lucy and her Great Gramma Gwen, my Gramma.

I LOVE all the photos. You are so good. I need some lessons and a different camera.

It is amazing how much Luke is in each of those grandkids. I wish I could see them all in person.

Looks like a great holiday.

Juliann, as always, your photos are amazing. But I wanted to point out that YOU look amazing in the couple photos there are of you! And P.S. that rocking motorcycle is pretty awesome. . . how can Santa bring one to me next year?
Annie said…

Hey Sis, you captured some good times with those photos... and I'm glad you were captured in some of those photos too! I miss you guys like crazy. The boys are bored out of their mind without their cousins!

gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous! I love your pics.
My favorite are Lucy and her grandpa - she will love those. Um and is Mike wearing a santa suit (without the cap?) in the picture with Lu and the tree?

oh.. and that sled!!! I've been dreaming of one of those but have no idea on where to find one... be on the lookout... along with a letter "S".

FANTASTIC photos, it makes me wish my Christmas was half as photograph-worth and photogenic! You need to be doing magazine spreads, and photo books, and any number of things that we mere mortals can look at and appreciate!
