Twelve Days of Christmas at Thanksgiving

I have two favorite Christmas songs - O Come, All Ye Faithful and The Twelve Days of Christmas. (Really disparate, aren't they?)

With ten grands visiting for the holidays I decided to embroider them all aprons using the song as a theme and include Craig and me to make twelve.

Titan, Susie, Cambria, Julie, and Kate modeling their aprons with us.

Partridge in a pear tree

Two turtle doves

Three French hens

Four calling birds

Five golden rings

Six geese a'laying (Craig wasn't thrilled to be a goose laying eggs, but the only other alternative was eight maids a milking! Haha!)

Seven swans a'swimming

Eight maids a'milking (I hadn't yet trimmed the jump threads on mine)

Nine ladies dancing

Ten Lords a'leaping

Eleven pipers piping

Twelve drummers drumming

We tried to get all twelve of us together at once for a photo but it always turned out like this. But that's okay - we had fun wearing them, cooking in them, and best of all, just being together for the holiday.
