Something from Nothing: Christmas Trees

The first grade teachers I work with (and happen to love) came to celebrate Christmas with me at my house yesterday.




After some comfort food and an ornament exchange, we sat around the table in the dining room and folded trees. That's right. Folded them.

What started out like these...



turned out like these.



Love. Love. Love.

Sometimes the simplest things are the best things. Just like friends around a table laughing and sharing things like our pets' names and holiday plans and such. Things we never have time to talk about at school.
