12 Drummers Drumming

12 Drummers Drumming didn't go as planned and since it was Christmas Eve, I had to improvise.  I wanted to give them gifts since it was Christmas Eve.  I found the perfect gift - books with necklaces.  Elizabeth got one from Blake's sister last year and she loves it so I knew the girls would love them.  I planned on putting 4 drum picks with each gift.  But when I opened up the drums, I learned I only had 6.  Apparently they don't come in sets of a dozen.  So I improvised (thanks to my sister) and put 2 drums on each package and 10 drum stickers to equal 12 drums.  It worked out ok since they didn't know my original plan, but I was still sad.  I was happy about the gifts though.  They left a nice note on their door saying thank you for making their Christmas special this year.  We really had a lot of fun doing the 12 Days of Christmas!

  2. Nope. We left it anonymous. It was more fun that way.
