12 Days of Christmas


I asked the kiddos what their favorite Christmas tradition was... both agreed... they loved doing the 12 Days of Christmas for one of our neighbors. I remember being the recipents as a child AND ringing and running as the secret elf for my family. The excitement, anticipation and adrenaline was fabulous! We have continue this tradition since Lance and I married nearly 11 years ago. For the past few years, Alex has been our 'runner'... he is quite a sneaky fellow. Emma is ready to ring and run this year! We had to make a few changes to the appearance of our gifts. (Turns out the family we did last year knew from day one. The father told Lance, "The packaging was Lory!"... not sure what that meant) This year we did white lunch bags with red tags. Lory reports, "This packing is generic!" :) 3 years ago, a sweet lady bought our first Fox Pointe home. We have come to love Alice very much. We decided as a family, we'd like to add a little excitement, anticipation, adrenaline and love to Alice's Christmas. Now if the kids can wait just a couple more days to begin!!
