Today was rough- I found out I didn't get a grant I had applied for to help build our school garden, and then I was at work pretty late to attend a K-2 Holiday Concert that my students put on. I was elated when I found my /r/secretsanta gift TWO DAYS before the shipping deadline.

I opened it and was surprised to find not one, but TWO awesome gifts- a set of buzzers that make different cool noises for class games. My class has 18 boys, so things that get us up, moving, and laughing are always a big hit. I am SO excited to use them! What a thoughtful thing to send a teacher- something that I can use in a million different ways, is super fun, and that is ridiculously easy to use. Santa must have a teacher as a relative or something. ;)

I then moved to gift two- it was labeled for my dog. Santa got something for everyone! I had mentioned in my information that I live with a crazy Aussie that loves to destroy tennis balls. Santa listened, and got Kirby some super tough chuckits. Kirby knew there was a toy for him immediately after opening the package. He didn't even wait for me to pull the toys out of the cardboard!

Needless to say, we were both pretty thrilled with the outcome of this gift exchange!! Thanks, Santa!
