Christmas books
Well, we've been reading Christmas books all month. This has been an exceptionally busy December. Jaymie turned eight and was baptized at the beginning of the month, and had a birthday party on top of that. Stanley turned three, and Julia turned five and had her birthday party as well. On top of all that, I finally finished my dissertation and defended it.
Somehow, we managed to find time to wrap all of the Christmas books and have managed to read two or three of them most nights. In addition, Kristen finished reading A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett to the girls. I found a $1.00 DVD of the same starring Shirley Temple which the girls will open on Christmas.
Kristen's sister Heidi gave her a copy of Under the Chinaberry Tree, which has tons of great recommendations for children's books. Just thumbing through it, I can tell I'll like it -- we own about half of the titles they recommend, it seems, so I get the sense that the authors' tastes run to ours.
