One of my kids actually brought in a piece of her mother's birthday cake for me today. So sweet! So silly! Third graders are great.

Other gifts this week:
very large leaf
small, interestingly shaped leaf
giant hershey kiss
small ceramic limoges-type box with a santa claus on top that my student purchased with his own dollar
chocolate candy from germany, wrapped up in notebook paper with the santa box and tied with a pink ribbon
two drawings of a princess dress
