Christmas with the Baileys

Let me start by telling about the Bailey's Christmas Tradition. Micha's dad give's all the kids and grandkids a sack full of candy and and different objects that he has hidden money in. So you have to go through every piece of candy, gum and object that is in that sack b/c it could be in anything!! This is everyone's favorite part of Christmas! After we opened presents Maddy yelled, "When do we get to look for money!!" Bill gets trickier every year! This year I couldn't find my last $5. I chewed every piece of gum and bit into every piece of candy and still couldn't find it!! It's a fun tradition that we all look forward to.This is an umbrella that Bill took the handle off and the little cap and put the money in there, this one took Micha quite a while to find:)
This is a piece of gum with the money inside. Bill told us that he melted the gum in the microwave, rolled it out and put the money inside and then shaped it back to its normal shape. Micha bit right into the money:)
This pic is blurry but this was one of mine, it's a peanut shell with money in it!!
This is a hilighter with the money inside.
Maddy found hers in the roll of Lifesavers.
