Hi Kristen!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, and have been reading about your life and family for about a year now. You have been a blessing to me! I love your Christmas book list. We have gone to our library and gotten alot of them. I want to recommend one to you. It's called "On Christmas Eve", by Margaret Wise Brown. It's really good and beautiful illustrations. Merry Christmas to you and yours!
We just borrowed Angel Pig and the Hidden Christmas from the library....such a sweet, sweet story.
ReplyDeleteYou can check out the books we are reading this year on Our Countdown to Christmas list. Though I know we will check some others out of the library as well. Thanks for this list of Christmas books.
