On the 2nd day of Christmas...

... we had another sweet, little gift bag left on our front porch, tonight! 

 It's official.  We have secret admirers who are doing the '12 days of Christmas' for our family! 
How fun, and cool is that?

 Tonight, my sister-in-law, Sharon, who is staying with us for a few days, stumbled on it when she went out the front door to get something out of her car. It was around 7 pm.  We had a rowdy, large group of people over at the house tonight, so I'm not sure if our admirers rang the door bell, or not.  But, it doesn't matter. The cutely decorated package was found.
{I'm glad it was dropped off at an hour when our children were awake to enjoy it.  They were tickled to see last nights' package on the table this morning, but were thrilled to be up to receive tonights new gifts.}

 In the bag, was a load of mini tootsie pops, tootsie rolls, and two wrapped gifts. 
One gift- an adorable ornament of a baby wrapped in a pink blanket, with a tag on it that reads:
"Baby's First". It's simply the most darling thing ever!
And the other wrapped gift- a fun Christmas cartoon DVD of Bah HumDuck.




 This is so great that our family has something fun to look forward to every night until Christmas! 
I'm actually very grateful for it, because in Phoenix, our family hosted a "Secret Santa" group for the past 6 years.  We had many families, that are good friends of ours, who were involved.  Now, we don't have any "friends" that we know well enough, that live close, who we could start a Secret Santa.

This Christmas, my children are really, really, missing our Secret Santa tradition, and so I feel giddy we have this 12 days of Christmas being shared with us.
Honestly, I think whoever is doing this felt inspired to do so.  It makes us feel loved, that's for sure.
