On the ninth day of Christmas . . .

. . . Mommy is crashing from a sugar high that might have been induced by Skinny Girl Cranberry Cosmos and a Bailey's Hot Chocolate at the girls' cookie exchange party!!!

I didn’t blog last night because I was preparing for the Trifecta’s cookie exchange party where we had TWENTY-SEVEN kids and their parents!  Holy crap, even I didn’t know what that many kids at one time would look like!!!!!!!

Major lesson – Always stock up on the marshmallows when you plan to do a snowman mason jar project.  I am certain those kids were playing a “one for you, one for me” game with those things.  I even bought the JUMBO kind!!!  But, I think a fun time was had by all and now mommy is going to pass out watching Charlie Brown Christmas.

But, first, here are our Christmas shenanigans the last two days.  Mommy was pretty proud of herself for these ones!

Day 8

Grandparents version

. . . Eight Milk Mustaches!

On the eighth day of Christmas, we're busy as a bee. 



Eight maids-a-milking, no where do we see.



But there by the tree we spy something sweet,



Everyone with milkstaches, my what a treat!

Note the mustaches on the nutcrackers.  We added Moses because he already had a milk mustache.  And no, I have no idea why we have a Moses statue.  Daddy just thought it looked cool!

Eight maids-a-milking, no where do we see.


But there in the barn we spy a tasty sweet,


Flavored Milk Straws, my what a treat!

Mommy forgot to take the picture before we left home, so she took it in the car between house 2 and 3.  :-)

Day 9

Grandparents version

. . .9 creatures dancing

Nine ladies dancing would be too big a crowd,


And their music was way too loud. 


So instead we have "all God's creatures" dancing to a song

That you can watch all year long.

Nine ladies dancing would be too big a crowd,

Besides their music is way too loud. 

We have for you Christmas songs,

That you can listen to all season long.
