What Gift Could Be Right?

Today I finally decided on gifts for the "aunties" and the orphanage director. I got some nice photo ornaments and put Grace's picture in each one, wrapped them in tissue, and put them into little cloth gift bags. We are going to add some wrapped chocolates to each bag. Hopefully, Grace will be able to pass them out to each of these special ladies as a way of saying thank you and good-bye. I also finished the Bulgarian thank-you notes. Using Google Translator, I finally wrote a short note that translated to Bulgarian and back to English without sounding like nonsense, so I hope that the "aunties" will understand the thought behind my words. Here is what each note says in Bulgarian:                                 

Уважаеми специални леля,

Честита Коледа,

Dear special Aunt,
Thank you very much for taking good care of Daniela. She's smart and sweet, because of your attention and care. Daniela's life you have changed and given a new future. We will be sure she is healthy and happy in our family. Thank you very much for loving her. We will be forever grateful to you.

Happy Christmas,

We also are giving framed pictures of us from the first visit to the director, assistant director, and the secretary along with copies of the photos that we took of the assistant director and secretary. Sometimes the director will ask for the adoptive family to host a party for the other children, so we brought coloring books and boxes of toddler crayons for all of the children in Grace's play group who are mostly ages 3 and 4. If they don't let us host the party, we will leave them...Maybe they could be used as Christmas gifts for the children this year. Here are a few of the gifts for the "aunties."
