Holiday Addendum; What We've Been Reading

Lucy had so much fun reading stories with her Grandpa and Grandma this Christmas!

( I think Grandma Truman might just be Santa's very own Librarian Elf! But, shhh! Don't tell!)
And I ended the year with two new Christmas favorites. Have you read:


Beautiful story. Beautiful illustrations. We love it!! Thanks, dearest friend who gave us this book!!!


And...My brother Mark and his wife sent us this book. My eyes water with sentimental tears almost every time I read it to Lucy. It's just perfect. Maybe you've read it. But just in case you haven't, I'll give you a little sample:

I am your parent; you are my child;
I am your quiet place; you are my wild...

I am your bundle up; you are my dash outside.
I am your uphill pull; you are my fast sleigh ride...

I am your old stories; you are my make-believe.
I am your go to sleep; you are my Christmas Eve.

Love it!!!!

Our holiday stories will be packed away this evening. Sigh.
Can't wait to dig you out next year, beloved little Christmas books!

Sounds like the Truman family had a wonderful Christmas! It will be good to see you all again. I also love the new format especially the top pic of your feet, so creative!
