A Beary Good Present

So the staff at the elementary school plays a very fun Christmas game. If you participate, you give $2 to the winner of the game from last year. That person wraps every one's $2. Then you wrap a gift of $10. Then for a week we all trade presents, trying to get the one that has the big bucks. You can't go wrong as you will still end up with $10... and this year the winning prize was $70+
So we have been swapping all week, and I've had my eye on this very VERY cute bear. I thought it probably wasn't the winner, but that my chances of getting the big prize were probably less than my chances of ending up with a bear AND $10. So this afternoon (while my kids were at a swim party) I fought for my prize. He got stolen from me like 5 times, but I found him, and when the bell rang... he was mine!! :) My good friend Terry Leija won the grand prize, and it turned out that I never even saw the box that it was in... so I was VERY happy with my bear (and $10!)
Only one more day before a two week break!!!!!!
