We Did It!

The 12 Days of Christmas project is complete!  And with only a few hours to spare.

The finished tree!

Here's the run-down of the items we gifted to our "neighbors":
  • Police (the ones that set up shop outside our house and disturb nap time) - A jar of Dulce de Guajaba and sliced bread
  • Workers (there's a house down the block where one of the guards and a local "chica" live) - Plate of banana muffins
  • Fruit guys (the ones on the corner that harass us when we're driving and croon over the girls when we're walking) - Four bags of ice for their thermoses 
  • Milk lady - Plate of sugar cookies
  • Guards (the two along our usual route to the mall) - Plates of sugar cookies and home made granola bars
  • Fruit Vendors (we're regular customers at Tuesday's AgroMart) - Plate of sugar cookies
  • Librarian - Plate of banana muffins
  • Chipa guys (so sweet to Bailey, even when we don't stop in and buy chipa) - Baggie of sugar cookies; we were out of paper plates (besides, Bailey wanted to "help" carry them...baggie it is!)
  • Sindy and Sylvia (two of our favorite ACA secretaries) - Christmas plates with banana muffins
  • Bailey's teachers - coffee mugs, Irish cream instant coffee mix and nail polish
  • Dr. Schmidt (he's recently moved into a new office) - puzzle, markers and paper for the "kid" area
  • Tio Ruben - snacks to jump start his stay in our house while we're away
Yes, there were a lot of banana muffins and sugar cookies being passed around, but Bailey loves to bake and those are two things that are easy to make, easy to gift, and "easy" to snack on ourselves when there were leftovers! :)
