I did receive a lot of gifts from the bus kids. I have two lovely candles, hand towel, snowman ornament, seasoned oyster crackers, Tuttie Frutti candies, beautiful wreath, wooden Santa ornament, homemade noodles, chicken broth, choc. covered cherries, and a small Christmas lamp. Everything is greatly appreciated, but I truely wish they would just get their kids a little something extra.

Think of it this way Janet--the parents, by letting the kids give your gifts, are teaching them how great it feels to give to others. I think it's wonderful that they did that for you and a great lesson for the kids at the same time. In my opinion, those kids got more by giving you the gifts than if the parents had just bought them an extra present.

Angie is right Janet. Kids really enjoy giving gifts to grown-ups they love, and they do love you! That's really so sweet. I can't say I blame them!

I never thought of it that way Angie. I know I did the same with my son. I do see their smiles and the way their eyes light up when I open their gift. I just give them a big hug and tell them how happy I am they ride my bus. I do have a great bunch of kids and I love 'em a lot.

And they have a great bus driver. My kids have had good ones and bad ones over the years and I understand how those parents appreciate one like you Janet.
