It’s Christmas Eve over here and we’ve opened The Very Last Advent book - appropriately ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Baby is now the happy owner of 25 new books, a whole new library that has cumulatively been THE BEST GIFT EVER. We’ve loved opening some classics and learning about some children’s books we didn’t know about before.

We will remember this forever and are so, so grateful for the amazing group of people who made this happen! A special thanks to Susan and Sarah who spearheaded the organization of it!

Seeing so many of our friends come together to gift us something so huge has been incredibly meaningful and special and we hope to pay it forward in the years to come.

So here’s for a season of giving and loving. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Hi friends!

Tomorrow marks the halfway point in our little man’s sweet Advent of Books from our friends, which we talked about HERE. Since we’re already at the halfway mark, we wanted to touch base and update you with a few photos if you’ve missed our daily posts. (Full disclosure: some of our posts are better than others. You know, the days when we don’t open the gift until we’re all together but by that time it’s dark. Or one of us is gone so trying to be in the moment with babe while also taking photos is a tricky dance.)

But you’ll get the idea: we’ve received some beautiful books that he already loves! We just didn’t want anyone to think less photos = less love. Less photos = too much going on over here.

Let’s just get to the photos so you can catch up on what lovely books we’ve been delving into this week over here.

It’s been humbling and amazing to see the gathering of people who made this possible and we’ve loved seeing which books each person has gifted! Once upon a time I was “up” on children’s books, but we’ve been gifted some beautiful books I’d never heard of before! That’s an extra cherry on top of this entire experience for me.
