12 Days of Christmas

Indy decided to do the Twelve Days of Christmas to the family that made dollar bill origami's and snuck over to our house late at night and put them in her car. So for roughly 12 nights, (if you're wondering how that could be - we door bell ditched them twice in one night to catch up) we left our funny little version of the Twelve Days of Christmas. It gets re-modified each time we do it depending on the family, and quite frankly, I've noticed our sense of humor becomes a little more warped as the years go by. Like I wanted to kill the partridge at the end this year, but they would only allow it to be "winged". I think the original, G-rated version came from Linda about a decade and a half ago. If anyone wants to see it, well not that one, it's long gone, I only have my sick & twisted copy, let me know and I'll email the document to you. Oh, this was funny, when our computer fried & died, we lost the file but had emailed it to a family we had done previously who wanted to play it forward in New Hampshire, so they sent it back to us, again, modified for their use and inclusion of alcohol. I made a few necessary changes, but somehow on the egg nog day, I mixed up the papers and accidentally sent the one that said "with rum because we really like you". Oops!!! We found out that funny & embarrassing little tidbit last night at the Big Reveal! I explained kinda quietly on the side to the mom how that had happened, not wanting to make a big deal out of it, but Mike didn't catch on that I had done that and gave everyone the same explanation I had just finished giving! Well at least we had our stories straight!! They thought it was funny. At least that's what they said. LOL!!

For this adventure, Mike and I were the Getaway Drivers; Indy was the Incognito Door Bell Ditcher. These people have a long, steep front yard and a glass front door (not to mention Taryn's double date guy lives across the street) so it was not easy!! Hence, the disguises. Plus, it made it more fun for us!! My friend Jill from Michigan even played along! Thanks Jill!

Jill wore The Beanie and her sunglasses when she

went to the door at night.

They never knew who she was! As a matter of fact,

they mistook her for someone else from church,

and went up to that lady the next

Sunday and gave her a big hug and called her their "Special Friend". Bet she was wondering what that was all about! The Twelve Days of Christmas Bandits

We crack ourselves up!
You should have heard the ideas & stories we concocted
for each night's special deliveries!
On the 12th Day, we all appeared just as in the photo above,
apparently totally unrecognizable!
Eric had no idea who we were and almost wouldn't open the door.
So I took his picture. It was great!
