I got the coolest christmas gift from a parent

[miss mopple]

and just had to share as it was so thoughtful :D

A while ago my sister (who is a professional photographer) did a portrait sitting for one of my minding families.

A few weeks ago the mum asked if I could email a pic of each of my mindees to my sister (with permissions of course) but wouldnt say why.

Well, on christmas day I found out :D

I am now the proud owner of a fantastic wall plaque, with a cartoon picture of a bus on it, and in the windows I am driving and my girls and each of my mindees are passengers :D Underneath it says 'X's childcare service 2009

Its just fantastic :clapping: Id love to share a pic but cant for obvious reasons, although if anyone wants to see I guess I could put paper over mindees faces so you get the idea.

I am blown away by the thought behind it, I truly am :D
