An Advent of Books

I’m all about the traditions - small things to look forward to and make all the moments a little extra special. Some people in my life make fun of me for this, but I own it all the same. We’re extra excited to celebrate Christmas with our little this year - including him in some of our old traditions (like going to chop doing a tree!) and creating some new ones too. Basically - no pressure, kid - but we’re expecting this Christmas to be more full of joy and laughs than ever before.

And the party is starting early because this year we’ve received THE MOST AMAZING GIFT (after our son himself, of course). Some of our friends collaborated to compile an “Advent of Books” for Bèbè. What?! Yes, you read that correctly, they coordinated, conspired, and compiled a collection of books so he can open one every day from now, December 1, through Christmas Eve.

We are BLOWN AWAY at this incredible and thoughtful experience for him.

This sweet gift will literally double his collection of stories and since we read him books all day long, we will all treasure this offering for years to come.

Today was our Book Advent Day #1 and it set the bar high. I texted my friend after we read it (twice) and asked her if it’s normal for this book to make one cry.

So here’s to the next 23 days, friendships, books, and Big Kindnesses (that inspire us to do the same.)

And thank you universe for sending us and our son friends such as these.

We hope your holiday season is full of the good things - family, friendships, giving, and grace.

xo.
