Day 12 ~ Mr. Toad & Santa

The card is in front with the frog with his tongue sticking out! It is a 3-D card that makes the frog swing! Cutest!!!!

This is seriously CRAZY!!! Thank you whoever you are! My kids have loved playing with this...and it was perfect because Elijah got a Didj from Santa this year so now they both have a gaming system AND they don't mind sharing them! Way to go Team Phantom!

This one didn't make it into the group picture because as soon as Elijah opened it...it was gone! The only way I got to take a picture is because I got it in my hot little hands for 5 seconds before giving it B for her turn...granted she can't play it but she LOVES her some Batman! Wonder where she gets that from! Teehee!

Day 11 ~ Mr. Toad

This gift was a little hard to hold onto! As soon as we opened the lid they all jumped out and I keep finding them about the house!

Day 10 ~ Mr. Toad

This is the tenth year so the rest of the gifts will be from Mr. Toad who is a new character for us! So clever!!!! Lots of the gifts have had little frogs on them to go with this year's theme!

How perfect is this! Earlier this year we made puppets and put on a puppet show, so the kids saw this and were like "Yeah, mom this is what real puppets look like"! A few socks and some buttons don't compare to Frenchy the Frog! Just in case you see B anytime soon, ask her if she can speak french! It is hilarious...almost as good as her Chinese interpretation! She just makes it all up in her head! I love being a Mom, it's so much fun!

Day 9 ~ Clara

This is Bronwynn's favorite day...she likes all of them really but day nine as of last year has been super girly and she LOVES that! Clara is the main character in the Nutcracker and B loves to watch ballet so as you can imagine this is right up her alley!

Day 8 ~ Beautiful Bessie

My favorite cows are back! I don't know how they find this stuff but isn't it cute! The small cow heads are mini footballs! We also got a cow backpack and a cow umbrella!

Day 7 ~ Odette

Odette is the main character in Swan Lake!!!!

Day 6 ~ Mother Goose

Oh, my gosh did our kids have fun with this one! The biggest hit was the rubber duckies that squeak! I think B even slept with all of them last night and has been making them following her around and calling her mom! We also LOVED that the movies young actress is Rogue from the X-men movies! Can't wait to watch it!

Day 5 ~ Frodo

Frodo Baggins is our 5 golden rings person! Clever right! I love it!

Day 4 ~ Birdbrain

HA!!!! This is so great! You'll have to turn down the Elvis musig (by the way I've fixed the Blue Christmas song...what was up with that lady? She's for sure not Elvis!) in order to hear the video, it is very clever! The kids have been having so much fun opening the gifts each day and remembering what was done in years past!

Day 3 ~ Three French Hens

The Three French Hens are one of my favorite gift groups because they are so hilarious!!!! Last year they got married and we tried to do wedding announcements for them as a thank you, but they just have a great & quirky sense of humor!!! Check it out!

Day 2 ~ Mr. & Mrs. Dove

Oh, man does this person know me or what!!! I love Debbie Mumm and Cream and Sugar Bowls!!! I guess I inherited that from my cute Grandma Jean!

Day 1 ~ The Peartree Phantom

Here is Day one! It about killed us to wait until Josh got home from work to open it! Isn't it cute!!!!!

Twelve Days of Christmas!!!!

I was bummed all day Monday just feeling like something was missing from our Christmas traditions and really feeling like I needed to call my good friend Lisa! I looked at the calendar and counted how many days until Christmas and realized that the tradition we were missing was the 12 days of Christmas Phantom we have been enjoying the past...10 years! Can you believe it!

I woke up this morning still feeling the loss, when to my surprise there arrived a HUGE box on my doorstep! You guessed it, they will be back again this year! I am absolutely overwhelmed and so delighted to see how clever they are this year! The box contains 12 gifts with cards so I will be posting everyday what clever things they have given us along with pictures so be sure to check back each day!
We love you whoever you are! Thank you for finding us!!!!!! Heehee! I'm so excited!!!
