9, 10, 11 and 12 days of Christmas

 It was a cold, windy, snowy night and we did not hear the bell.  This was on the porch and we think it goes with the group but no tag.  It must have blown off.  


 10 ladies dancing.



 11 pipers piping.



12 drummers drumming.

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!


We loved this and the reality of the gifts on each day.  Such planning and then delivering each night.  I will do this for someone because it was so fun for us. 
On the last day, tucked next to the ice cream drumsticks was a Christmas card telling us who it was.  It is the dearest family in our neighborhood.
