Ten Lords a Leaping and Eleven Drummers Drumming

Last night as we were getting home from Coen's holiday program at school, everyone tired out and up way past bedtime, we walked up to our door and saw a box sitting there. Inside this elaborately folded box, hanging strings and affixed by tape and glue, were 10 lords a leaping.  There was Darth Vader and Darth Maul and Count Dooku, Al Pacino, Baby Jesus and an assortment of Eastern Gods...  Coen was so excited about the Darth Maul Lego figure that he was first speechless and then fell on his knees, very odd noises coming from his mouth! 
Needless to say, the kids stayed up a bit later, examining all the flying lords, taking them out and playing with them.  It was a late night and lucky for us, a slightly later morning.

In the morning after we'd finished Elmo's Potty Time, Coen looked out the window and spotted our basket.  Inside of a lovely large glass vase were 8 little plastic whistles, two new years horns and one recorder.  The kids played with the horns with glee, and we shared our plastic horns with some friends who came over this evening.

Tomorrow is the twelfth day of Christmas... Will we find out who our generous, creative, and amazingly thoughtful and generous gifters are?  Stay tuned!!!

Sweet dreams.
