My favorite thing was the "hugs" Lucy made. We traced her hand and cut out 2 of them. We cut a piece of ribbon that was Lucy's arm length and attached the hands to each end. We added hearts to the center and wrote thank you messages to her sweet teachers. I found this idea online.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY916DBxokjhvYWFEZkyOEUwV8smzSkh4chfn66dhQ3kH3yUf5F53N-fECcghK2BCEnFUzsyruabtTzDHV5Qh56Rqux_GYFlNHtTX-SriYOAQrGW-p1U8pSbXct9rBsysTOG0AMeJ55hvM/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1534" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY916DBxokjhvYWFEZkyOEUwV8smzSkh4chfn66dhQ3kH3yUf5F53N-fECcghK2BCEnFUzsyruabtTzDHV5Qh56Rqux_GYFlNHtTX-SriYOAQrGW-p1U8pSbXct9rBsysTOG0AMeJ55hvM/w300-h400/IMG_6090.jpeg" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We gave her teachers a Target gift card.
