12 days of christmas

my dad has been doing the 12 days of christmas for my kids through the mail. my kids LOVE setting up his christmas village every year and so he has been sending a new village piece to them each day so they can create their own. boy have they had fun creating!!!

here's what we have so far:

somehow kai's soccer cake toppers (from his b-day cake) made it into the village.

a closer look....

someone getting hit by a bus....

the shoppers being held up....a defender blocking the holiday tractor hayride.

this is just what i found today. it changes daily!

thanks dad. i appreciate that you have tried to keep us connected through the holiday....amid the hustle and bustle it has reminded me how grateful i am for family and for the little things that make me laugh.
