On the First Day of Christmas....

A few years ago I was in charge of the Christmas program at church....

and they wanted the program to be humorous...

They came to the right person...LOL!

I tried to get out of it since my son was getting married the week before Christmas 

and I had FIVE parties I had to attend in addition to the bridal shower 

AND the wedding 

AND the reception...

(It's a good thing I was the mother of the groom and NOT the mother of the bride!!)

So my overwhelmed mind came up with this.... 

mostly out of necessity to keep track of all I had to do to get through the month!!!

If you are an LDS mom, you will relate!!!
