Happy Holidays!

ADCAN nannies met on Sunday, November 16 to talk about the Holidays. We came up with some amazing holiday gift ideas for employers. Top of the list ... photos! Can never have too many photos. Ideas for photos? Mugs, placemats, frames, ornaments ... what are your favorite photo suggestions? Take photos of children's artwork and make into a book using Snapfish.

Kellie had some amazing ideas using pottery painting using children's hand prints and even their feet! Though don't comment on her drawing skills :)

We had a few ideas for making our own advent calendars using a hanging shoe organizer and one using scrapbook supplies.

Penny shared with us her mom's annual contribution of the Candy Countdown (see separate post for directions).

What do you give to your employers? Gift cards to nice restaurant, bottle wine, photos of children, book about the holidays, night of babysitting are just a few. What do you give to your employers?

What are your favorite holiday traditions? What do you do to make the holidays special for all?

Here is a link to some Hanukkah books at Barnes and Noble. We had discussed what to give children and parents for Hanukkah. It was suggested some nice candles for their menorah and a book or two for the kids.
