See that smiling face right there? That little boy ripped through the entire cache of wrapped Christmas storybooks I wrote about here. Graciously, my older boys didn't mind and now we are simply enjoying all our Christmas stories in one huge bunch.
The above scene occurred spontaneously while I was making lentil-mushroom soup for Sunday Soup Night (on Monday!). It has been so rewarding to hear my older boys reading to their little brother. I know that these snuggly storytimes will be a big part of their memories of Christmas at home. I wonder which books will be the ones they must pass on to their own little ones someday saying, Grandma Mimi always read this book to me when I was your age.
The most requested books right now are the following:

Jan Brett's books:
*In the Gingerbread Friends book there is a recipe for making gingerbread boys. We tried it and it was wonderful.

Scratch-n-Sniff books

These are our all-time favorite books about Santa!
*If you are into Santa at your house, these beautifully illustrated and intricately detailed books will captivate young readers for hours.

Keeping Christ in Christmas
#5
Advent Books
*The Countdown book is a board book for toddlers and young children and the Adventure book is for Mom's to read to children. Both books focus on religious traditions and serving others rather than waiting for presents.
