Christmas Books...

We love, love, love BOOKS at our house! And Christmas books are no exception! For a tradition, we wrap up 24 books each year and then open one each night. This happens every year, usually. This year I didn't, but the books are all out and will continue to be a tradition! We like to add to our collection when we can. There are even some really old ones from when Jesse was growing up. Here are some of Gabriel's favorites:

Of course, this one made the cut...we love the movie too.


This one is about a moose father who wants Christmas to be "perfectly perfect", but he forgets to buy the Christmas tree....


Have you ever woke up the morning after you built a snowman, and he wasn't in the same spot? This answers all your questions to why he moved...really cute!

Cute Trish, we read a Christmas every night in December until Christmas too! And thanks for sharing those last two books on the list! They do look darling--we'll have to go get them. Oh, and good job on your xmas card! Those are great pics of your cute family.

Hey, don't even get me started on the Polar Express...it's a classic, but I think the movie isn't an accurate portrayal of what I had worked the book up to be in my mind! So mad!

What a great idea. I so want to do that next year.
