On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree!

Well folks there you have it, the last day of the 12 Days of Christmas...phew!. I will be having a break from blogging until my granddaughter goes home.

We have called ourselves The Nutty Nannies, even Korenza laughs at us...hehe....Until next time...lol....
