Wrappin' up a great year ...

I love spoiling my kids' teachers.

I don't know if its the fact that I once was a teacher and

totally understand the blood, sweat, & tears that go into the job

or if its just the fact that I love to give gifts!

I'd like to think its the former.

Tuesday night we had our 4th annual teacher picnic.

All of the Cleft kiddos invited their teachers.

And the administration.

And the specials teachers.

It was a quite a crowd.

I never counted all the heads, but with the adults and then some spouses

and children as well, the crowd should have been around 70ish.

A great time was had by all ...

the guests felt appreciated and the Clefties got a chance to say one more 

'thank you' ....

The gift this year was etched glasses, filled with beans & a tealight ...

super cute and useful too ...

The food was based around the 'wrapping up a great year' theme ...

bbq chicken & ham and cheese wraps, along with pasta salad,

fruit, chips, and yummy desserts.
